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

"Spending a day with Jo at the Boho Shed's furniture painting workshop was wonderfully relaxing and mindful experience. I arrived with a charity shop cheap and cheerful practice piece and came away with something that now takes pride of place in my home. Not to mention bursting with enthusiasm and ideas for allsorts of projects and armed with a whole range of techniques and the hands on experience of applying them. Thank you Jo for your kind and generous teaching, I hope to join you on one of your upholstery courses later in the year."

The Boho Shed responded:

"Jacqui, I'm over the moon you enjoyed the workshop so much. Thank you for taking the time to write your lovely review. I can't wait to see what you produce at home. Give me a shout if you need any further help. I look forward to seeing you later in the year for the upholstery workshop. x"

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

"I thoroughly enjoyed this furniture painting skills course held at Grappenhall Heys walled garden. It's a great location for the course as it lends to the relaxed nature of the day. Jo expertly covered many different painting techniques, giving us the opportunity to practise some before applying our preferred effects to our own item. I made the mistake of taking along too large a piece to complete in the time so heeding Jo's advice to keep it small is paramount. I would recommend the course to anyone who enjoys upcycling and learning new skills."

The Boho Shed responded:

"Thank you for your lovely review Jane. What a great day we had. I’m delighted you enjoyed it so much and I agree, The Walled Garden is just beautiful! 🙏💕"

Sarah reviewed: Beginners DIY & Home Maintenance Workshop in Cheadle, Gr Manchester (1 Day)

"I took this workshop and I had so much fun. I felt safe and comfortable learning DIY and I walked in with absolutely zero knowledge! No question was too silly to ask! It was a great location and space. I also got to go home with delicious cake. Would love to book onto more courses in the future. I’m looking forward to getting started on my DIY journey!! "

The Boho Shed responded:

"Thank you for your lovely review Sarah. I'm so pleased you felt comfortable asking questions during the workshop. You're right, no question is too silly at all. I will pass your compliments to the chef (Mum). :-) Give me a shout if you need any help with your DIY projects. I'd be happy to help. Jo x"
