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

"I had such a great day at the furniture painting workshop. Jo was great at explaining all the different techniques and we had a go on boards to practise which was really helpful. I feel really confident now to have a go at furniture painting and transform some old pieces. I loved the day - great company and refreshments and fun to have a go at something new! "

The Boho Shed responded:

"I'm so pleased you enjoyed the workshop Rachel and that it gave you confidence to continue your own projects at home. Thank you for your lovely review. x"

MJ reviewed: Upholstery for Beginners Workshop - in Warrington, Cheshire

"I came back for another Beginners Upholstery Workshop after attending one a while ago — and it was every bit as wonderful as I remembered, if not more! Jo is an exceptional instructor, and her passion and knowledge shine through from the moment you step into the studio. She breaks everything down in such an accessible, encouraging way, whether you’re brand new or returning for a refresher like I was. The atmosphere is warm, welcoming, and filled with the buzz of creative energy. It was lovely to once again be surrounded by others who were just as curious and enthusiastic about learning upholstery. This time around, I felt even more confident with the tools and techniques thanks to Jo’s expert guidance and thoughtful tips. As before, we left not only with new skills but also a beautiful, hand-crafted footstool — which I'll be gifting to a friend, who I'm sure will be over the moon! I can’t recommend this workshop enough. It’s practical, inspiring, and incredibly rewarding. Thank you again, Jo, for another unforgettable experience!"

The Boho Shed responded:

"Wow! Thank you for your wonderful review MJ. I'm over the moon you enjoyed the workshop as much as you did last time, and I'm delighted you wanted to return. You are an absolute pleasure to teach and you made another really beautiful stool which I have no doubt whatsoever your friend will be delighted with. Thank you for your very kind words and i look forward to seeing you again in Aug."
