Jen Hennessy reviewed: Furniture Painting Workshop (Levels 1&2 techniques covered) in Cheadle Gr Manchester

"I absolutely loved this day and was actually disappointed when it finished for the day. Jo manages to cover a huge span of techniques without the learning process seeming rushed and provides notes to take home which helps cement them. She creates a relaxed but fun vibe to the class and you will take home a piece of furniture that you can love and be proud of. I highly recommend trying it if you have even a smattering of interest in furniture painting or upcycling. "

The Boho Shed responded:

"Wow Jen, what a lovely review. Thank you so much for your lovely comments on the workshop. It was great to meet you and I loved your enthusiasm for painting and everything creative. I look forward to hearing about and seeing all your future endeavours. "

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

"I can't recommend Jo enough for her top drawer (!) DIY experience at The Boho Shed. She was very down to earth🌏 and explained each task as she went and then let us try it out for ourselves in a relaxed manner unearthing a few talents I never knew I had along the way (!!). It was such an empowering day and I cannot wait to put my new skills into action. There was a lovely friendly group who shared their personal projects in a very supportive environment. Big thanks to Jo for a wonderful experience! 🙏🙏 even managed to share info on my girl power book Womanhooded!! 💪💪💪 #gogirl PS the tea with cakes and cherry scones was a welcome treat too 🤗☕️🍪🍰🍩🙏"

"Ahhh Jo, what a fantastic day we had. Thank you so much for your amazing review. I'm so happy you got so much out of the day and felt empowered when you left. Please let me know how you get on. I have ordered your 'Woomanhooded' book and can't wait to get stuck in, it sounds fantastic. Anyone else wanting to be empowered by this amazing book :-) Thanks again Jo x"

Bekki reviewed: Introduction to Upholstery Workshop - Make a Footstool in Preston

"Another 5⭐️ experience with Jo! After thoroughly enjoying a furniture painting workshop, I booked on to the upholstery workshop and what a fantastic day it was. Lovely group of people to share the experience with and under the instruction of the fabulous Jo, we managed to make a pile of raw materials into gorgeous footstools. Jo made what I thought was going to be a really complex art of upholstery into a clear and understandable process. With handy tips at each stage, and a set of notes to take home, the workshop was delivered at a good pace. Really enjoyed the day, so much so that I've told everyone I know they will be getting a footstool for Christmas now!! Thanks to Jo for leading us in a great workshop and Jo's Mum for some scrumptious cakes. The lemon cupcakes were particularly lush. Thanks, Jo and Mum xx"

The Boho Shed responded:

"Ah Bekki, you lovely woman you! It was great to welcome you back and what another great day we had. Thank you for your wonderful review. I’m so pleased you enjoyed both days so much and I’m excited about seeing what you create at home. Many thanks again, Jo x"

"A very good course. Jo was very friendly and helpful and my stool is really cute. An extensive range of colour options is provided for painting and varnishing the stool feet and I was able to choose my own bun feet. Gave me the confidence to try making another stool at home. Would definitely recommend this workshop"

"What an amazing day! Jo is a fantastic teacher and I have gained so many new skills, super chuffed with the little stool I got to make. I can’t recommend the workshop enough, great company and homemade cake as an added bonus! Thank you Jo! 🥰"

Janet Fearn reviewed: Furniture Painting Workshop (Levels 1&2 techniques covered) in Cheadle Gr Manchester

"Very comprehensive course with lots of information about products and techniques which was backed up with take away notes which was brilliant as I could concentrate on what Jo was saying rather than be scribbling away making my own notes. Jo kept the day flowing at a comfortable pace and once we started painting our own pieces moved evenly through the group offering guidance and advice whilst allowing for individual creativity. I was extremely pleased with the small table I painted, it looks fabulous! The Cheadle venue is in a lovely tucked away quaint location with plenty of free parking. The home baked treats were a delicious bonus :)"

The Boho Shed responded:

"What a lovely review Janet, thank you so much. I'm so pleased you enjoyed the day. You made such a gorgeous job of your table, I loved it! I hope you enjoy your new found hobby and I'm sure you will create some amazing pieces ongoing. x"

Eve reviewed: Introduction to Upholstery Workshop - Make a Footstool in Preston

"Great one day introductory course. I learnt so many small things which, when put together, have made other projects so much more professional looking. I would have preferred to make a much larger footstool, however, my four year old granddaughter loves the one I made and has put it in her ‘den’. The course leader was friendly, knowledgeable and happy to help and answer any questions. I would be happy to do further courses with her. Thank you Jo!"

The Boho Shed responded:

"Thank you for your lovely review Eve. I’m pleased you got so much from the course and now feel your work is now more professional. In order for the course to work, everyone needs to do the same size stool but now you have the skills to make any size you wish. I look forward to seeing your lovely future creations. Many thanks again for your kind words. 🙏😊"

Julia reviewed: Introduction to Upholstery Workshop - Make a Footstool in Preston

"Thanks Jo for a fabulous experience of my first ever upholstery day. You were so warm welcoming and knowledgeable. Sharing the day with others of mixed experience was great …….and even though I was a bit slow at times you were very patient and I didn’t feel rushed at all. I was delighted with the end result of my functional and beautiful footstool !! Would recommend highly and will definitely look for further opportunities to develop my skills !! "

The Boho Shed responded:

"Ahh Julia, thank you so very much for your kind words. You were an absolute pleasure to teach and I don’t remember you being slow at all. You made such a lovely job of your stool and I hope you enjoy it with pride. Many thanks again for your lovely review. X"

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

"This weekend I spent the most relaxing and productive day I've had in a long time, while attending an Upcycling Workshop with Jo (The Boho Shed). Jo is such a fantastic tutor, her passion and knowledge really shines through as she runs through lots of lovely techniques and top tips for upcycling pieces of furniture, picture frames etc. it is super easy to really immerse yourself into workshop. There was a choice of refreshments on arrival, I chose a lovely refreshing peppermint tea and of course, freshly made and dressed scones with cream and jam......and fresh raspberries. Such a lovely touch to create a really welcoming and comfortable environment. During the morning we learnt about all the different techniques, then Jo took the time to understand each of our visions for our pieces of furniture, then after lunch we were let loose on being creative - in which I completely lost track of time and just enjoyed the creative process. Saturday was in fact Earth Hour day, where the environmental/sustainable message is to spend an hour doing a sustainable activity - what better than taking a tired piece of furniture and giving it new lease of energy. Thanks, Jo, for such a relaxing and creative workshop; really looking forward to the upholstery workshop next! 🥰"

The Boho Shed responded:

"Lovely Bekki, what can I say! Thank you so very much for your gorgeous review and very kind words. I'm absolutely delighted you enjoyed the workshop so much and your Dad would have been very proud of you for restoring his precious piece of furniture. I love it that you were lost in creativity. What a great day we had. I look forward to seeing you again next month at the upholstery workshop. Until then....x"

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

"Had a fantastic day at the furniture painting workshop on Saturday. I learned so much about the variety of products and techniques that can be used and met some lovely people on the course. Jo’s an excellent teacher with a vast array of knowledge with time for everyone. I've definitely got the painting bug and can’t wait to get started on some home projects. I was so impressed with the course that I’ve enrolled on the upholstery workshop next month!"

The Boho Shed responded:

"Ahhh Lorna, what a lovely review, thank you so much. You were an absolute pleasure to teach and made such a lovely job of your frames. I'm looking forward to seeing your ongoing painting creations and looking forward to seeing you next month for some upholstery. Many thanks again. Jo x"

"Thanks Jo for a great day earlier this week in Cheadle. The people were lovely and I learned lots. I am now ready to buy a drill (I’m no longer scared of them) and to get started on all those little jobs around the house. I really enjoyed the workshop and it’s suitable for complete beginners as well as people with a bit of knowledge. The cakes were good too! "
