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

"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."

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

"Very good introduction to various aspects of DIY. I learnt that you can use drill bits in an electric screwdriver for a number of jobs, which I wasn't aware of - so that was a great help. Certainly helped my knowledge and gives me more confidence to tackle some jobs around the house. Jo was a very patient teacher as well. Thank you!"

"Thank you so much for your lovely review and your very kind words Ruth. As you mentioned, there are lots of tricks of the trade which when discovered can be extremely useful and make life so much easier. I'm so pleased you found the workshop useful. Jo x"

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

"I attended a DIY course with the Boho Shed. The course was delivered by a warm and friendly lady called Jo who has lots of practical experience. The material was easy to follow and there was no fear of asking those seemingly dumb questions which were answered patiently by Jo. I would highly recommend this course for the novice or for people who want to reinforce their self confidence when tackling their own DIY. The added bonus was the beautiful cakes and tea/coffee that was available throughout the day. The course was held at the Cheadle Drill Hall. I live out of the area but found the venue easily and had no difficulty parking. Thank you, Jo, for a Sunday well spent!"

The Boho Shed responded:

"Ahhh Melanie, what a wonderful review. Thank you so much for your very kind words. I'm so pleased you found the workshop so useful and yes, there are no 'dumb' questions what so ever, I welcome them all, and more often than not they are useful to the whole group. Thank you so much for helping me to pack up too, that was so kind of you. 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"

Jen Hennessy reviewed: Furniture Painting Workshop (Levels 1&2 techniques covered) in Cheadle Gr Manchester

"I absolutely loved this day and was actually disappointed when it finished for the day. Jo manages to cover a huge span of techniques without the learning process seeming rushed and provides notes to take home which helps cement them. She creates a relaxed but fun vibe to the class and you will take home a piece of furniture that you can love and be proud of. I highly recommend trying it if you have even a smattering of interest in furniture painting or upcycling. "

The Boho Shed responded:

"Wow Jen, what a lovely review. Thank you so much for your lovely comments on the workshop. It was great to meet you and I loved your enthusiasm for painting and everything creative. I look forward to hearing about and seeing all your future endeavours. "

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

"I can't recommend Jo enough for her top drawer (!) DIY experience at The Boho Shed. She was very down to earth🌏 and explained each task as she went and then let us try it out for ourselves in a relaxed manner unearthing a few talents I never knew I had along the way (!!). It was such an empowering day and I cannot wait to put my new skills into action. There was a lovely friendly group who shared their personal projects in a very supportive environment. Big thanks to Jo for a wonderful experience! 🙏🙏 even managed to share info on my girl power book Womanhooded!! 💪💪💪 #gogirl PS the tea with cakes and cherry scones was a welcome treat too 🤗☕️🍪🍰🍩🙏"

"Ahhh Jo, what a fantastic day we had. Thank you so much for your amazing review. I'm so happy you got so much out of the day and felt empowered when you left. Please let me know how you get on.
