Paula reviewed: Beginners DIY & Home Maintenance Workshop in Warrington, Cheshire (1 Day)

"This course is brilliant! I knew very little about DIY before it but I feel confident enough to tackle many jobs I’ve previously paid people to do for me. I’ve always been intimidated by a drill but not now. I can confidently put up shelves, hang pictures and probably a lot more jobs involving a drill. Jo is a lovely patient teacher who ensures everyone leaves satisfied. I fully recommend it to anyone who’s always thought DIY wasn’t for them."

The Boho Shed responded:

"Paula, thank you so much for your kind words. I’m so pleased you got so much from the day and feel confident doing some of your own jobs at home. It means a lot to me. Go girl! 😊"

"What an excellent day out, I haven’t enjoyed myself so much for an age! We started the day with all the ladies on the workshop chatting and introducing themselves and then Jo offered us wonderful home made scones with jam and cream or home made delicious chocolate cake, made by her mother. Tea and coffee and biscuits were freely available all day long for anyone to help themselves. Jo is very kind and patient and is an extremely talented lady. First things were a walk through of the process, showing us the stages of making the foot stool, which we then went back through step by step as we carried out construction of our amazing little foot stools. We painted/waxed our wooden feet and then started to layer up the foam and filling before we broke for lunch. As we worked through the steps, Jo would use each of our footstools as examples to show us what to do next. The delight we all felt when we finally got to put our fabric on the footstool was showing in all our faces. We were so proud of what we had made The ladies on the course all got on well and it was an excellent fun day. Jo gave us clear instruction and was only too happy to help anyone of us if we needed it. My footstool turned out so much better than I thought it would. I would certainly recommend this workshop for a great day out to meet new people and most importantly to meet Jo and take her instruction in making a gorgeous footstool. Anyone who isn’t sure should take this as a ‘definitely go do it’ Thank you Jo, for a fabulous day!"

The Boho Shed responded:

"Awww Lesley, what a really fantastic review, thank you so much. What a great day we had! And what a great bunch of ladies. You all made it so special. Thank you also for all your help throughout the day helping others and packing up etc. You lovely lady you! xxx"

Julie Vickerman reviewed: Upholstery for Beginners Workshop - in Cheadle

"I attended an upholstery workshop with Jo in the Boho Shed, Billinge on Thursday 1st December 2022 and had a thoroughly fantastic day Jo is an excellent instructor in that she explained all the steps in the process in great detail, sharing her 'tips' along the way as we came to more technical stages. She helped us individually as and when we needed her, answered our many questions along the way until all of us produced our unique and beautiful footstools. To say we had a laugh along the way would be an understatement but, the other 3 ladies and I just seemed to 'gel' with each other and Jo. A plentiful supply of delicious homemade cakes, courtesy of Jo's Mum and teas & coffees made for a perfect educational day. Thank you, Jo, for your patience and expert guidance. "

The Boho Shed responded:

"Ahhh Julie, thank you so much for your lovely review and for such a wonderful day full of chats and laughs and learnings all around. You were a pleasure to teach. Great company. 🙏💕x"

"Attended a course at Grappenhall Heys on 3.12.22 and it was just as Jo described. A perfect day at a relaxed pace with like-minded people learning really valuable techniques. Perfect for complete beginners and Jo is a very good teacher. I already feel ready to do my own straightforward projects at home. A beautiful setting and the cake, drinks and cafe lunch (reasonable price) definitely helped! Thanks Jo :-)"

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

"Jo has created a course which gives a brilliant introduction to furniture painting. The small class means that you get lots of one-to-one attention. Jo really listens to your ideas and it was great to see mine come to life with her encouragement and help. For a complete novice, I left the course feeling I could give more if this a go now that I’ve got a much better idea of what I’m doing! Good company, good food and good fun, thank you."

The Boho Shed responded:

"Thank you so much for your kind words El. I’m so pleased you enjoyed the workshop and look forward to seeing what you create at home. ??"
