Hannah Johnston reviewed: Upholstery for Beginners Workshop - in Warrington

"Great upholstery course making small footstools, Jo was amazing, giving us step by step, jargon free instructions (and notes to take home) she taught us techniques transferable to making simple chairs, headboards and larger footstools, and I actually feel confident enough to attempt these! Thoroughly enjoyed the day ‘making’, not to mention the plentiful hot drinks, homemade cakes and lovely company. Grappenhall Heys Garden is a beautiful place in itself, and the perfect backdrop to this fab course, lunch at the cafe was lovely. Will likely book another craft course with Jo. Thank you so much!"

The Boho Shed responded:

"Thank you for your lovely review Hannah, I’m so pleased you enjoyed the day, and the cakes! I hope it’s inspired you to do more at home. I hope to see you again. "

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

"What a fabulous day I spent at the Boho Shed. Jo taught me so much and within a couple of hours I was already applying these new techniques in practice. I took a small wooden table to the session and after painting it, and then stencilling, distressing and dry brushing my test piece, it was totally transformed. I didn't know such good results could be achieved so quickly. The day was super relaxed and a great success. Thanks Jo !"

The Boho Shed responded:

"Soooo pleased you enjoyed the day Julie. I had such a great time with you too. Thanks for your lovely review. X"

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

"Attended a L1 painting techniques course @ Grappenhall with the lovely Jo. Learned some great techniques stencilling, distressing, crackling, dry brushing, and all about the different paints and finishes available to use. Jo explains everything really well, you get a chance to practice them all first and then you decide which ones you want to apply to your own piece(s). Really great day, with a lovely group, in beautiful surroundings - highly recommended."

The Boho Shed responded:

"Thanks so much Diane. I’m so pleased you enjoyed the workshop. What a lovely bunch you all were. ??"

Linda reviewed: Upholstery for Beginners Workshop - in Cheadle

"What a fantastic day, I was lucky enough to be on the course with a lovely lady and our tutor Jo who made us both feel very at home and welcome. Having never attempted upholstery, I was soon put at my ease and encouraged throughout, I’ve got the bug now and would recommend this course to anyone. A really fun and relaxing experience and a fantastic and fun tutor (with lots of patience). I was thrilled with my footstool and will be back to try another skill. It was really nice to do something for myself, be spoilt with endless tea and home made cake and two great ladies for company, what’s not to like you must give it a try."

The Boho Shed responded:

"Linda, what a great day we had! Thank you for your lovely review. I’m so pleased you enjoyed the day and delighted you now have the bug. I look forward to seeing your future upholstery projects and to seeing you again for some furniture painting. ??"

Kathy Taylor (aka Katie Flutie) reviewed: Upholstery for Beginners Workshop - in Warrington

"A fabulous day making a super gorgeous footstool. The workshop tutored by Jo was excellent - great tuition, support and guidance at a good pace. I was so pleased with my new skills that I’ve ordered equipment and materials to make another, slightly bigger, footstool for another room. My return journey was nearly 200 miles but well worth the trip and I hope to do more of Jo’s courses. Very highly recommended!"

The Boho Shed responded:

"Thank you Kathy, and for driving all that way. The fact that you’ve bought stuff to make more at home tells me the workshop was a success! Perfect. Shout me if you need any more guidance. ?"

"My daughter and I had a fabulous day yesterday at Grappenhall Heyes, learning to upholster a footstool. Jo was such a great teacher, so helpful and because the group was only 6 lovely ladies, there was lots of one to one time available and nothing too much trouble. Delicious cakes and bottomless tea and coffee! And the best is we all came away with beautiful footstools ?"
