"Ahhh Lorraine, you were a pleasure to teach, thank you for your very kind review. What a great bunch you were, I had lots of fun too. Keep me updated on your upholstery progress. You'll be amazing! x"

Anna reviewed: Beginners Upholstery Workshop in Warrington, Cheshire - Make a Footstool

"This course was so different to other craft courses I have done. It was really relaxed and the setting was beautiful. I really felt like the priority was to chill for the day, which I really valued. Jo offered delicious home made cakes and a really warm welcome. I learnt so much about upholstery and others who were not beginners also learnt new techniques and methods. Jo creates a very inclusive learning environment and gives everyone guidance. However, I felt like we were all free to follow our own ideas too and the end products all looked so different! Would recommend this without doubt to anyone wanting to learn about upholstery. I had a really positive and memorable day. Thank you Jo! "

The Boho Shed responded:

"Anna, thank you so much for your lovely review. I'm so pleased this was your fave! :-) Can't get better than that! Thanks for your very kind comments about the venue, cakes and the fact that you had such a memorable and enjoyable day too. xx"

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

"Brilliant course with a lovely lady. Everything explained in detail and good to use the tools in a safe environment rather than struggling on your own. I now have the confidence to tackle those small jobs around the house and garden. Great tips from others on the course helped to make it a great day. Thanks to Jo's Mum for baking cakes too!"

The Boho Shed responded:

"I'm so pleased the course has increased your confidence Diane and I'm delighted you enjoyed it. Thank you for your lovely review and I will pass your kind comments about Mum's cakes to her. x"

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

"Really excellent, particularly for those like me who had really zero skills with DIY. Skill level up 100%. Confidence up 100%. Jo is a very relaxed tutor and made us all feel at our ease. Would be great to have an intermediate and advanced DIY course. More men should do this course and not leave it all to partners as I did. Not anymore! Will look to do another of the available courses."

The Boho Shed responded:

"Wow! That’s fantastic feedback Jerome, thank you so much! 🙏 It was brilliant to see a couple of men there and yes I agree, us women have enough to do! 😬 Many thanks again."

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

"Recently I attended Joanne’s furniture painting workshop at the lovely location of Grappenhall Heys. Joanne's workshop is fun, hands on and really informative. As a complete beginner to upcycling furniture, I had a lot of questions which Joanne answered fully and completely. Joanne is the friendliest of teachers and has a vast knowledge about the subject. She individually encouraged and supported each member of the class, when it came to actually working on our chosen pieces of furniture. The day was really enjoyable and very productive, as Joanne ensured each class member was able to transform their furniture using the painting techniques learnt in the workshop. I would recommend Joanne’s workshop to any novice upcycling enthusiast, you'll have a great day."

The Boho Shed responded:

"Thanks so much for your fantastic review of the workshop Norm. I’m really pleased you enjoyed the day, and I agree what a gorgeous venue The Walled Garden is. You made such a lovely job of your unit. 🙏"

"Relaxed atmosphere. No question too stupid. So practical. As a result I went home and had confidence to take mouldy caulk off windows & re caulked beautifully. I redid caulking around shower, redecorated room & knew to use decorators caulk AND drilled new curtain rails in and a shelf. So proud"

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

"I recently attended Jo’s furniture painting workshop at Grappenhall Heys. It was an amazing day and had so much content you felt so knowledgeable at the end, even for a novice.

Can’t wait to do another workshop soon!"

"This course was amazing! Reasonably priced and I learned a lot of different techniques and still had time to paint my own piece of furniture with lots of great tips thrown in.
