Creative workshops - including natural dyes, drawing, painting, gardening, textile explorations and publishing - have taken place on invitation or been initiated since 2017 in various cultural institutions and independent spaces internationally and nationally including Bow Arts, Camden Art Centre, Garden Museum, Henry Moore Studios & Gardens, Horniman Museum & Garden, Pitzhanger Manor & Gallery, Royal Museums Greenwich, Southbank Centre, Southwark Park Galleries, The Hepworth Wakefield, Design Museum and Whitechapel Gallery.
Johanna Tagada Hoffbeck's approach to ideating and facilitating engaging workshops frequently includes a multisensorial aspect infused with enthusiasm, often beginning the session with a hot cup of organic herbal tea and a walk/breathing exercise. Through her workshops, conceptualised as calming and playful, the artist transmits skills and aims to nurture the participants while also developing their sensibilities.
Johanna founded The Gardening Drawing Club in 2021. Between Spring 2022 and November 2025, 1859 adults and children participated in the workshops she planned and facilitated via The Gardening Drawing Club. This positive community engagement project is ongoing.
While based in England, Johanna had also planned and facilitated workshops in France, Italy, Japan and Korea.
Please use the contact page to discuss a workshop in relation to your space and/or cultural agenda. These shared ateliers, a time with a practising artist, can be directed towards audiences of all ages, including adults and children, and can be facilitated in English, French and German.
The photographs below are outtakes of past workshops in England, France, Japan and Korea (2017 - 2023).
