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!"

The Boho Shed responded:

"Ah Jayne, what a lovely review, thank you so much. You were both a pleasure to teach and I would be delighted to welcome you to an upholstery workshop when you are ready. 🙏💕"

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

"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!"

The Boho Shed responded:

"Thank you so much for your very lovely review Laura. I’m over the moon you enjoyed the day so much and got so much out of it. It was a pleasure to have you and Gavin there. Happy ongoing painting. 🙏❤️"

Philippa reviewed: Upholstery for Beginners Workshop - in Cheadle

"I had a great time on this course, I loved that there was an end product to take home - very rewarding. Jo was a great teacher, very clear and concise in her instructions and encouraging and supportive as we went along. I would definitely recommend anyone wanting to try their hand at this to give it a go. It was good value for money too and the cakes were a pleasant bonus!"

"First of all thank you Jo for such a lovely day yesterday. Your course “making a footstool” was very informative and I feel that I could now tackle my own project.

Tina Muscatelli reviewed: Upholstery for Beginners Workshop - in Warrington

"Fantastic course! Jo is a great tutor who goes through the whole process of making a footstool step by step and is very patient! 😊. I’m so pleased with my footstool and the end result way exceeded my expectations. I now have the confidence to tackle some other upholstery jobs at home. If you’re thinking of booking this course I would highly recommend it. And the scones and cakes Jo provides are delicious too! "

"Thank you so much for your lovely review lovely Tina. I'm so pleased you got so much out of the day and particularly enjoyed Mum's cakes. Keep going and I look forward to seeing your gorgeous creations. x"

Lorraine walker reviewed: Upholstery for Beginners Workshop - in Warrington

"I did this course with Jo Boho Shed and it was amazing. Jo is an amazing tutor and the group of ladies I shared this experience with after doing my stool are wanting me to go onto bigger and better things involving upholstery. Thank you for this experience, much appreciated."

The Boho Shed responded:

"Ahhh Lorraine, you were a pleasure to teach, thank you for your very kind review. What a great bunch you were, I had lots of fun too. Keep me updated on your upholstery progress. You'll be amazing! x"

Anna reviewed: Upholstery for Beginners Workshop - in Warrington

"This course was so different to other craft courses I have done. It was really relaxed and the setting was beautiful. I really felt like the priority was to chill for the day, which I really valued. Jo offered delicious home made cakes and a really warm welcome. I learnt so much about upholstery and others who were not beginners also learnt new techniques and methods. Jo creates a very inclusive learning environment and gives everyone guidance. However, I felt like we were all free to follow our own ideas too and the end products all looked so different! Would recommend this without doubt to anyone wanting to learn about upholstery. I had a really positive and memorable day. Thank you Jo! "

The Boho Shed responded:

"Anna, thank you so much for your lovely review. I'm so pleased this was your fave! :-) Can't get better than that! Thanks for your very kind comments about the venue, cakes and the fact that you had such a memorable and enjoyable day too. xx"

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

"Brilliant course with a lovely lady. Everything explained in detail and good to use the tools in a safe environment rather than struggling on your own. I now have the confidence to tackle those small jobs around the house and garden. Great tips from others on the course helped to make it a great day. Thanks to Jo's Mum for baking cakes too!"

The Boho Shed responded:

"I'm so pleased the course has increased your confidence Diane and I'm delighted you enjoyed it. Thank you for your lovely review and I will pass your kind comments about Mum's cakes to her. x"

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

"Really excellent, particularly for those like me who had really zero skills with DIY. Skill level up 100%. Confidence up 100%. Jo is a very relaxed tutor and made us all feel at our ease. Would be great to have an intermediate and advanced DIY course. More men should do this course and not leave it all to partners as I did. Not anymore! Will look to do another of the available courses."

The Boho Shed responded:

"Wow! That’s fantastic feedback Jerome, thank you so much! 🙏 It was brilliant to see a couple of men there and yes I agree, us women have enough to do! 😬 Many thanks again."

Sue reviewed: Upholstery for Beginners Workshop - in Preston

"What a wonderful day, learning a new skill, sharing the experience with a great group of people with Jo providing really clear straight forward step by step guidance throughout. Jo was always on hand to support and reassure us as we created our own footstools, with hands on help when we needed it. A really great day, and I’m inspired to make more now"

The Boho Shed responded:

"Hi Sue, thank you so much for your lovely review and kind words. I'm so pleased you enjoyed the workshop. Your footstool was gorgeous! I look forward to seeing more of your creations. x"

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. 🙏"

"Relaxed atmosphere. No question too stupid. So practical. As a result I went home and had confidence to take mouldy caulk off windows & re caulked beautifully. I redid caulking around shower, redecorated room & knew to use decorators caulk AND drilled new curtain rails in and a shelf. So proud"
