Paula Sindall reviewed: Upholstery for Beginners Workshop - in Cheadle

"My sister and I attended the upholstery course. It was a small group and Jo created a warm, relaxed atmosphere which meant that we had a good opportunity to chat and get to know the others who were attending. Jo was very knowledgeable about her subject, gave lots of advice and guidance, and had lots of helpful tips based on her own experience to share. I came away from the workshop having had a really enjoyable day and feeling as if I had gained skills which I could use to undertake my own upholstery project, which is great! I love my new footstool 😊. The homemade cakes were an added bonus, thanks Jo’s mum! All in all a wonderful day which scratched my creative itch and gave me some new skills. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend and would definitely attend some of Jo’s other workshops."

The Boho Shed responded:

"It was great to meet you both Paula. Thank you so much for your lovely recommendation. I love it when a group enjoys each other's company and I had a great day too with you all. :-) I'm delighted you love your stool, it's gorgeous. I will pass your kind comments on to Mum the baker, thank you. Hope to see you again soon. x"

Di Stearne reviewed: Upholstery for Beginners Workshop - in Cheadle

"Just had a fabulous day learning how to upholster. Jo was so skilled at guiding each one of us at our own pace, I’m delighted with the footstool I made. It was brilliant getting to know the others attending the workshop, we had many laughs!!!! Jo is an excellent teacher and her enthusiasm is a joy. Just do this workshop if you can. 😊"

The Boho Shed responded:

"Di!! Thank you so much for your very kind review of the workshop. What a fantastic group you were. I'm so pleased you enjoyed it so much and you footstool was gorgeous. I had a great day too with all of you. Thanks for such great company. :-)"

"An informative day spent learning furniture painting techniques and tips. Jo is a super tutor, very knowledgeable and offers many helpful ideas. Lovely small group to work with too. I've come away with lots of ideas and plans to revitalise old pieces of furniture. Can't wait to get started on a larger project. Great location. "

"Thank you so much for your lovely review Ann. I'm so pleased you enjoyed the workshop and learned so much. I'm excited for you with your future projects. Give me a shout if you need any further help. Jo x"

Viv reviewed: Beginners DIY & Home Maintenance Workshop in Warrington, Cheshire (1 Day)

"I really enjoyed this course. It was a lovely friendly group of people, Jo's teaching was excellent and the Grappenhall Heyes setting was beautiful. The cakes were delicious too! While I've done quite a bit of basic DIY, I've always been nervous about using power tools and it was great to have a chance to use the small drill screwdriver. I'll certainly be buying one of my own now, and probably a few more of the items on the list."

The Boho Shed responded:

"Thank you for your lovely review Viv. I'm delighted you enjoyed the course. You did extremely well with all the tasks and exercises. Hopefully now you'll feel much more confident with your drilling. Give me a shout if you need any more help ongoing. xx"
