"Painting workshop. A beautiful venue at the walled garden, an amazing host, scrumptious homemade cakes...what more do you need? Well, as it happens fantastic day learning new skills and techniques accompanied by others with the same mindsets, happy to share ideas and experiences of renovations. A most enjoyable day. Jo's knowledge, expertise and above all honesty about products was very much appreciated. She ensured everyone had her 1:1 attention, advice and encouragement when creating their own piece. Thank you Jo."

The Boho Shed responded:

"Thank you so much for your lovely review of the day Jan. I’m delighted you enjoyed it so much. I agree the venue is magical and I will pass your kind comments on to Mum the baker. 🙏💕"

"Attended the furniture painting course taught by Jo. Absolutely loved the course & came away with a beautifully transformed piece of my Mums furniture- which my Mum absolutely loved! Bonus. Jo is so knowledgeable &’passionate about her crafting & is more than happy to answer after course questions as you continue to develop your skills after the course ends. I would highly recommend. I attended to get into something I will really enjoy to help with my mental health & this course has certainly set me on the right path. will be attending more of her courses. Thanks Jo x"

Lindsey Cuthbertson reviewed: Furniture Painting Workshop (levels 1&2 techniques covered) in Warrington, Cheshire

"I had a fabulous, informative day learning and trying out paint techniques with Jo at The Boho Shed. Jo was friendly, welcoming and shared her extensive personal knowledge of the paint types, techniques and tips. I’d done a fair bit of painting before but learnt a lot and got to try out new techniques with the close support of Jo. The course was in beautiful surroundings too and I had a lovely lunch at the cafe next door. Jo treated us throughout to home made cakes, closely supported our projects and ensured we had everything to hand. Highly recommend to beginners or those wanting to try out some new furniture painting techniques."

The Boho Shed responded:

"You were an absolute pleasure to teach Lindsey. Thank you for your lovely review. You made such a gorgeous job of both of your tables, and I agree, the Walled Garden is such a treat, especially on such a sunny day. x"

Bekki reviewed: Furniture Painting Workshop (levels 1&2 techniques covered) in Preston, Lancashire

"This weekend I spent the most relaxing and productive day I've had in a long time, while attending an Upcycling Workshop with Jo (The Boho Shed). Jo is such a fantastic tutor, her passion and knowledge really shines through as she runs through lots of lovely techniques and top tips for upcycling pieces of furniture, picture frames etc. it is super easy to really immerse yourself into workshop. There was a choice of refreshments on arrival, I chose a lovely refreshing peppermint tea and of course, freshly made and dressed scones with cream and jam......and fresh raspberries. Such a lovely touch to create a really welcoming and comfortable environment. During the morning we learnt about all the different techniques, then Jo took the time to understand each of our visions for our pieces of furniture, then after lunch we were let loose on being creative - in which I completely lost track of time and just enjoyed the creative process. Saturday was in fact Earth Hour day, where the environmental/sustainable message is to spend an hour doing a sustainable activity - what better than taking a tired piece of furniture and giving it new lease of energy. Thanks, Jo, for such a relaxing and creative workshop; really looking forward to the upholstery workshop next! 🥰"

The Boho Shed responded:

"Lovely Bekki, what can I say! Thank you so very much for your gorgeous review and very kind words. I'm absolutely delighted you enjoyed the workshop so much and your Dad would have been very proud of you for restoring his precious piece of furniture. I love it that you were lost in creativity. What a great day we had. I look forward to seeing you again next month at the upholstery workshop. Until then....x"

"Had a fantastic day at the furniture painting workshop on Saturday. I learned so much about the variety of products and techniques that can be used and met some lovely people on the course. Jo’s an excellent teacher with a vast array of knowledge with time for everyone. I've definitely got the painting bug and can’t wait to get started on some home projects. I was so impressed with the course that I’ve enrolled on the upholstery workshop next month!"

The Boho Shed responded:

"Ahhh Lorna, what a lovely review, thank you so much. You were an absolute pleasure to teach and made such a lovely job of your frames. I'm looking forward to seeing your ongoing painting creations and looking forward to seeing you next month for some upholstery. Many thanks again. Jo x"

Jayne reviewed: Furniture Painting Workshop (levels 1&2 techniques covered) in Preston, Lancashire

"Excellent course really did take a lot away from it including lots of easy techniques. Nice space, good equipment and lovely & approachable tutor (Jo). My mum and I thoroughly enjoyed the day, so much so we are going to do Jo’s upholstery course in the new year. In summary, if you’re debating whether or not to do the course - do it! You will have no regrets I’m sure of it!"

"Loved this course. I had no idea where to start with furniture painting and after this one day introduction I came away with a fabulous upcycled corner table and am itching to try all the other techniques we learned. Jo makes this a very calm and relaxed day and gives you the confidence to try out your ideas. Learned so much!"

Norman Lewis reviewed: Furniture Painting Workshop (levels 1&2 techniques covered) in Warrington, Cheshire

"Recently I attended Joanne’s furniture painting workshop at the lovely location of Grappenhall Heys. Joanne's workshop is fun, hands on and really informative. As a complete beginner to upcycling furniture, I had a lot of questions which Joanne answered fully and completely. Joanne is the friendliest of teachers and has a vast knowledge about the subject. She individually encouraged and supported each member of the class, when it came to actually working on our chosen pieces of furniture. The day was really enjoyable and very productive, as Joanne ensured each class member was able to transform their furniture using the painting techniques learnt in the workshop. I would recommend Joanne’s workshop to any novice upcycling enthusiast, you'll have a great day."

The Boho Shed responded:

"Thanks so much for your fantastic review of the workshop Norm. I’m really pleased you enjoyed the day, and I agree what a gorgeous venue The Walled Garden is. You made such a lovely job of your unit. 🙏"

"I recently attended Jo’s furniture painting workshop at Grappenhall Heys. It was an amazing day and had so much content you felt so knowledgeable at the end, even for a novice. It’s given me the confidence to try out my new skills on pieces of furniture I would’ve probably thrown out or replaced. Thank you Jo for sharing your passion with us all. Can’t wait to do another workshop soon!"

The Boho Shed responded:

"It was great to meet you Jo. You were a pleasure to teach. Thank you for your lovely review of the workshop, I'm so pleased you got so much out of it and look forward to seeing you again soon. x"
