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. 🙏"
