Joanna Woodward reviewed: Upcycling Paint & Paper Decoupage Furniture Workshop Experience: Spend Two Days with ReVamp Boutique

"I attended the 2-day paper decoupage course. It was a great couple of days, and I came away with one finished mirror, and partially finished side table, and lots of ideas for other projects. Sarah was very welcoming and is so knowledgeable and generous with her knowledge - and demoed and explained everything really clearly. We were provided with everything we needed in the cozy workshop and a lovely rural location. Lunch was delicious and hot drinks and cold water on tap were very welcome. I'm now looking at what other workshops I can do next. Would highly recommend."

ReVamp Boutique responded:

"Thank you so much for your feedback on our workshop Joanna! It's so lovely to hear that you had a great couple of days with us and enjoyed! I'm now looking forward to seeing your future projects with your new-found skills! Hope to see you again very soon! Best wishes Sarah"

Carol reviewed: Upcycling Paint & Paper Decoupage Furniture Workshop Experience: Spend Two Days with ReVamp Boutique

"A thoroughly enjoyable two days! Beautiful paints to choose from, lovely environment, great lunch provided (including gluten free for me!) and great tuition and encouragement from Sarah. More pleased with my finished piece than I ever expected to be (I don't generally consider myself to be a very creative person!). Am feeling confident to experiment with other pieces at home with the knowledge I've gained and the confidence Sarah has given me. Thank you so much."

ReVamp Boutique responded:

"Thank you Carol! You created an amazing transformation! It was a pleasure to have you along and I'm so glad the workshop has inspired you to take your upcycling journey further with some experimenting. Hope to see you again soon. Best wishes Sarah"

"This 2 day Upcycling Decoupage course was fantastic! Sarah is an excellent tutor and takes time to explain each stage of the course. We were all made very welcome. I really enjoyed upcycling furniture giving it a fresh look. Lessons with Sarah gave me more confidence in myself. Highly recommend to anyone! :)"

ReVamp Boutique responded:

"Thank you Anetta! So glad you enjoyed your two days with us! You are now armed with the skills to create beautiful furniture yourself at home. I look forward to seeing them and hopefully seeing you again at another of our workshops in the near future! Best wishes Sarah"

"I have just attended Sarah’s 2 day upcycling & Decoupage course and had a fab time!! Sarah is a wonderful tutor and human being, I learned so much and met some lovely people. I will definitely do another of Sarah’s courses. Much love to you Sarah and all the other ladies. Sandra xxxx"

Emma reviewed: Upcycling Furniture With Paint & Fabric Decoupage Workshop experience: Spend Two Days with ReVamp Boutique

"Amazing course! Sarah is great fun and taught us a few tricks! I loved being creative and have already started my next project. Looking forward to my next course with Sarah already. Easy way of teaching which makes you feel comfortable and confident to give anything a try. Would definitely recommend ??"

ReVamp Boutique responded:

"Thank you Emma! So glad you enjoyed! I've seen your projects and you have definitely mastered the fabric decoupage! Hope to see you soon , maybe for the ReUse Fabric Weaving workshop which will be listed very soon!"

"This course has changed my life. Try stopping me upcycling everything I can get my hands on. I so enjoyed the course and the relaxed but thorough teaching style with Sarah who was friendly, supportive, informative, informed, talented, inspirational and committed to making us get the most out of the course, just so encouraging. I loved the studio. The environment was bright and spacious and Covid safe and we also were informed about general health and safety. The equipment was good and well thought through and Sarah was generous in supplementing us with odds bits and pieces that we needed. Also we picked up so many tips along the way. Arriving as a total beginner I have learnt so much that I am raring to get to the next level and perhaps do a fabric upcycling course (this was the wallpaper one) or one of the other courses she will be running. Sarah is wonderfully talented and a very good teacher, but more than that she has a sparkly way of being and extraordinary interpersonal skills that add the extra dimension. Cannot recommend this well-priced course highly enough."

ReVamp Boutique responded:

"Ohh Simone! You are so very kind! It was lovely to have you along after such a long wait ( COVID 19) to meet you!!! Really pleased you are now on the up cycling reuse path and looking forward to seeing your work and having you along back with us again for another workshop in the near future! Best wishes Sarah"

Sheila reviewed: Handmade Junk Journal Workshop

"I really enjoyed my day at ReVamp Boutique! Sarah is very inspirational and makes you feel so much at ease! As the day went on I felt more and more creative and relaxed! I enjoyed playing with colour and design using all of her and my handmade paper and trimmings! Not only that but I have a beautiful quirky journal to keep and treasure and it will be memories to possibly pass on through the family. Thanks Sarah"

Diana reviewed: Upcycling Paint & Paper Decoupage Furniture Workshop Experience: Spend Two Days with ReVamp Boutique

"Really enjoyed this course with Sarah, it was relaxed, informative and friendly. The location was really nice. I would highly recommend anyone who wants to start out in upcycling to give this course a go. It has inspired me and gave me the basics to work with in transforming other pieces of furniture into vibrant and unique pieces of art! Thank you Sarah xx"

ReVamp Boutique responded:

"Thank you Diana! It was lovely to have you along! Glad you enjoyed your time with us and that it has inspired you! ....we would love to see any upcycles you create in the future! Best wishes Sarah XX"

Stephanie Harman reviewed: Lit Paper Mache Angel Wings Wall Art Workshop

"I thoroughly enjoyed my time in Sarah’s angel wings workshop. I learned so much and was very much inspired by Sarah’s knowledge. It was a great atmosphere and I found the tuition very helpful. I would really recommend this excellent workshop."

Pamela Clarke reviewed: Lit Paper Mache Angel Wings Wall Art Workshop

"I loved this course it had so many things to take into consideration when creating the wings, Sarah allows you to use your own skills but is on hand on a one to one basis with ideas if you don’t have any of your own. I really experimented with colours which is brave for me but loved the outcome and of course Sarah,s encouragement along the way."

ReVamp Boutique responded:

"It was lovely to have you back again with us Pam. Thank you so much for reviewing us! You did amazingly! Can't wait to see them hanging in your home ( or studio!) I know they will make the perfect wall feature and ambient light. Looking forward to seeing you again on future workshops. Best wishes Sarah"

Susan Jones reviewed: Upcycling Furniture With Paint & Fabric Decoupage Workshop experience: Spend Two Days with ReVamp Boutique

"It was great to be learning something new. I have already repeated the process proving Sarah's laid back approach to learning works. Sarah is great. She loves any form of art and craft and it shows and loves to share and help. Looking forward to any new courses."

Charlotte reviewed: Upcycling Paint & Paper Decoupage Furniture Workshop Experience: Spend Two Days with ReVamp Boutique

"Was a bit worried at first with social distancing, but was impreseed with how, this was managed safely. Had a great couple of days and left with a unique piece of furniture that I designed. Sarah the tutor has a calming relaxed approach to learning. I have a few projects that I will now feel confident completing at home. Had a lovely time, and I have asked to be kept up to date about future craft courses."

ReVamp Boutique responded:

"Thank you Charlotte, such a lovely review for us.... We had a great time didn't we! It was so refreshing to get out and back to things after Covid 19 Lockdown and our large workshop has plenty of space & fresh air! Keep an eye out for new workshop listings, of course I will email you but until then enjoy your UpCycling!!"

Sherrie Charlton reviewed: Online Interactive Upcycling Furniture Workshop

"Sarah is an excellent tutor and I really enjoyed the course. I had booked to go on the 2 day course but Covid-19 put an end to this so when Sarah suggested trialing the online option I was delighted. The interactive online sessions were great and there was just the right amount of time between sessions to put everything into practice and be ready for the next session (everything dry and ready to go) without feeling pressurized. Obviously, you need to make sure you have the right materials but Sarah gave the list out in good time with plenty of suggested alternatives in case they weren’t available and it also meant I have everything ready to do my next piece. Sarah’s style is creative and supportive and I’m booked onto another workshop when we can meet in person and learn more techniques. I would thoroughly recommend the workshop."

Sue Jones reviewed: Upcycling Paint & Paper Decoupage Furniture Workshop Experience: Spend Two Days with ReVamp Boutique

"24th and 25th September 2019. This was an enjoyable two days where learning a new skill was so much fun. Sarah is brilliant and so enthusiastic to share as much as possible with you. I was delighted with my final piece and am already planning to "up cycle" a couple of side tables. I love it."

Carol Anson-Higgs reviewed: Upcycling Paint & Paper Decoupage Furniture Workshop Experience: Spend Two Days with ReVamp Boutique

"I thoroughly enjoyed the two day course with Sarah. It was the first upcycling course I have ever attended and was delighted to find that it was just Sarah, I and another delightful lady whom I am going to stay in touch with as an ‘upcycling buddy’ ?. Sarah is a very lovely person who is both encouraging and helpful. The pace of the course is fine and the venue was both convenient and appropriate. I didn’t think that I would be very taken with decoupage but having seen the examples of what is possible by Sarah, I am now a convert. I have decided that this is going to be my new post-retirement ‘career’. Thanks for inspiring me Sarah!"

Jane Bartlett reviewed: Upcycling Paint & Paper Decoupage Furniture Workshop Experience: Spend Two Days with ReVamp Boutique

"What an inspirational experience the decoupage course has been ! There is so much to learn and yet Sarah's reassuring style makes you see the possibilities are endless- and of course you can do it! I'm heading back for some upholstery tuition next......."

ReVamp Boutique responded:

"Thank you Jane for such a lovely review! It was a huge pleasure! So glad you enjoyed your 2 days with us...you made a fabulous transformation on your piece...it looked amazing! Deco meets Rococo! Looking forward to seeing you again very soon..."

Sarah McDean reviewed: Upcycling Paint & Paper Decoupage Furniture Workshop Experience: Spend Two Days with ReVamp Boutique

"I attended the 2 days upcycling course with Sarah this week. I’m so pleased I took the plunge. I not a typically crafty person. I’ve always loved the idea of being creative but have lacked the confidence to give it a go. This course is for everyone. Sarah sets you at ease and explains everything in a calm and clear way. Sarah creates a relaxed atmosphere that takes any stresses or nervousness away. I’ve come away with a wonderful bedside table and the confidence to upcycle the other one at home on my own. It was especially enjoyable to see some of Sarah’s previous projects and having the chance to chat with her and the other ladies on the course. A fun and enjoyable couple of days!"

ReVamp Boutique responded:

"Thank you Sarah! So glad that you did take the plunge; taking a couple of days out of our busy lives is sometimes difficult but so rewarding! We offer this workshop to all levels of creativity and confidence and make it as flexible as we can so are chuffed to bits that you enjoyed and that you have a piece of furniture to show that you are more creative than you initially first thought!!"

Donna Pack reviewed: Upcycling Paint & Paper Decoupage Furniture Workshop Experience: Spend Two Days with ReVamp Boutique

"I have just finished the two day upcycling decoupage course and it was brilliant. The tutor, Sarah, was absolutely fantastic, she answered all my silly questions and didn't make me feel stupid for not knowing the answers. It was a 2 fabulous days that were great fun, very enjoyable and inspiring. I was on the course with 3 other lovely ladies, Sarah made us all very welcome and provided us with 2 lovely lunches. I upcycled a small table and I am so pleased with how it has turned out, it now looks stunning. Sarah has given me the confidence to go on to do lots more :) I'm very happy. I would definitely attend another course with Sarah and I highly recommend this course to everyone. Give it a go, I'm sure you'll love it as I did :)"

ReVamp Boutique responded:

"Thank you so much Donna! We enjoyed having you on the workshop too and are so glad that your are now inspired to work on your next piece! You now have the skills so just go ahead and play!! We will keep in touch and let you know of future approaching workshops! Looking forward to seeing you back with us soon! Best wishes Sarah"

JACQUI BRADSHAW reviewed: Upcycling Paint & Paper Decoupage Furniture Workshop Experience: Spend Two Days with ReVamp Boutique

"This course was brilliant. Sarah our tutor was professional, friendly and extremely knowledgeable. She was easy to talk to and didn’t mind how many questions you asked her. I went with two friends and we all three had a great time and were very pleased with our pieces of furniture we took home. Sarah also does commissions and sells her furniture on Etsy. I will definitely be keeping an eye on it. Overall a brilliant course for the money. Two lovely days of fun and learning with great people, and she also gave us two great lunches. I have since done two more pieces of furniture. I would definitely recommend this course."

ReVamp Boutique responded:

"Thank you Jacqui! So glad you all enjoyed! and that you have taken it further and worked on further projects at home! It was great to have you along and to be part of your new venture! Take care and keep in touch. Best wishes Sarah at ReVamp Boutique XX"

Doody Blake reviewed: Upcycling Paint & Paper Decoupage Furniture Workshop Experience: Spend Two Days with ReVamp Boutique

"This was a great introductory course to revamping furniture. I took my sister for her birthday and we spent two days together and Sarah guided us along the way to revamping our furniture pieces. I turned a sewing trolly into a drinks trolly and my sister turned some drawers into a very lovely piece of furniture to put her sewing bits in. It was fun and enjoyable and would definitely recommend to new revamp novices."

Claire Tripp reviewed: Upcycling Paint & Paper Decoupage Furniture Workshop Experience: Spend Two Days with ReVamp Boutique

"Had the most wonderful two days transforming an old coffee table on this workshop. Sarah was so lovely and provided such a memorable time sharing her wealth of upcycling experience and I learned so much from her! I met some lovely ladies also attending the workshop and Sarah provided gorgeous lunches and refreshments too. A fabulous two days!"

Beth Cowley reviewed: Upcycling Paint & Paper Decoupage Furniture Workshop Experience: Spend Two Days with ReVamp Boutique

"Really enjoyed the workshop, up cycling a boring bedside table to be something new. With the help of Sarah we all created something lovely from an old piece of furniture. I met some lovely people and and loved the whole weekend! I would highly recommend the course!"

Diane reviewed: Upcycling Paint & Paper Decoupage Furniture Workshop Experience: Spend Two Days with ReVamp Boutique

"A brilliant course! Perfect if you want to learn how to upcycle and some tricks of the trade. Excellent personable tutor! Amazing food. A real chillout two days (although I did have soooo much cutting out to do)…… met some lovely participants also. Definitely would recommend it especially if you feel you just need to get away from your everyday life for a couple of days.Venue was perfect. Thank you."
