"I went on a furniture painting level 1 workshop with Jo. I absolutely loved the day, Jo gave me lots of skills and tips how to use techniques such as stencilling, distressing, crackling, waxing and dry brushing to transform an old chair. The environment is lovely and the food very tasty from the cafe. Jo provided drinks and lovely cakes throughout the day. She gave me the confidence to try the techniques and I have definitely got the bug to continue transforming furniture, thank you Jo for a lovely day x"
