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

"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"

"This course was amazing! Reasonably priced and I learned a lot of different techniques and still had time to paint my own piece of furniture with lots of great tips thrown in. Jo is the friendliest and most helpful of teachers with her own baking treats thrown in too. Buzzing after this course and I would highly recommend! "

The Boho Shed responded:

"Wow Andrew, thank you for this glowing review. 🙏 I’m so pleased you enjoyed the day. You made such a lovely job of your unit and I have a feeling you’ll do lots more lovely creative painting. "
