Ruth Davies reviewed: Beginners DIY & Home Maintenance Workshop in Cheadle, Gr Manchester (1 Day)

"Very good introduction to various aspects of DIY. I learnt that you can use drill bits in an electric screwdriver for a number of jobs, which I wasn't aware of - so that was a great help. Certainly helped my knowledge and gives me more confidence to tackle some jobs around the house. Jo was a very patient teacher as well. Thank you!"

The Boho Shed responded:

"Thank you so much for your lovely review and your very kind words Ruth. As you mentioned, there are lots of tricks of the trade which when discovered can be extremely useful and make life so much easier. I'm so pleased you found the workshop useful. Jo x"

M J Roberts reviewed: Beginners DIY & Home Maintenance Workshop in Cheadle, Gr Manchester (1 Day)

"I attended a DIY course with the Boho Shed. The course was delivered by a warm and friendly lady called Jo who has lots of practical experience. The material was easy to follow and there was no fear of asking those seemingly dumb questions which were answered patiently by Jo. I would highly recommend this course for the novice or for people who want to reinforce their self confidence when tackling their own DIY. The added bonus was the beautiful cakes and tea/coffee that was available throughout the day. The course was held at the Cheadle Drill Hall. I live out of the area but found the venue easily and had no difficulty parking. Thank you, Jo, for a Sunday well spent!"

The Boho Shed responded:

"Ahhh Melanie, what a wonderful review. Thank you so much for your very kind words. I'm so pleased you found the workshop so useful and yes, there are no 'dumb' questions what so ever, I welcome them all, and more often than not they are useful to the whole group. Thank you so much for helping me to pack up too, that was so kind of you. Jo x"

Gill reviewed: Upholstery for Beginners Workshop - Make a Footstool in Preston

"A fantastic day making a beautiful stool, Jo was kind, supportive and helpful. I’m a total beginner but that didn’t matter - really chuffed with the end result. Fabulous cake too."

The Boho Shed responded:

"What a great day we had Gill. You are a natural! :-) I'm so pleased you enjoyed the day. Thanks for your lovely review. x"

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

"I had a fabulous, informative day learning and trying out paint techniques with Jo at The Boho Shed. Jo was friendly, welcoming and shared her extensive personal knowledge of the paint types, techniques and tips. I’d done a fair bit of painting before but learnt a lot and got to try out new techniques with the close support of Jo. The course was in beautiful surroundings too and I had a lovely lunch at the cafe next door. Jo treated us throughout to home made cakes, closely supported our projects and ensured we had everything to hand. Highly recommend to beginners or those wanting to try out some new furniture painting techniques."

The Boho Shed responded:

"You were an absolute pleasure to teach Lindsey. Thank you for your lovely review. You made such a gorgeous job of both of your tables, and I agree, the Walled Garden is such a treat, especially on such a sunny day. x"
