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"

"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."

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"

Julie Prosser reviewed: Upholstery for Beginners Workshop - in Warrington

"Thank you Jo for my super day doing the upholstery course and ended with a beautiful footstool with plenty of help and guidance. What a very patient lady you are. It was lovely to meet all the lovely ladies who also had never done anything like this before and we had a great time. I would highly recommend to anyone thinking about doing this to get booked on, you won’t regret it. Oh and the cakes were delicious x"

"Another amazing workshop from Jo at Thebohoshed. So many different techniques learnt and I was able to come away with my side table completely transformed! Would highly recommend attending this and Jo’s other courses. "

The Boho Shed responded:

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. "

Annie reviewed: Upholstery for Beginners Workshop - in Cheadle

"Very much enjoyed the day learning the correct method of making a small piece of furniture. Each stage was clearly explained and Jo took a lot of time with each participant to ensure a great result for us all. Jo is very organised and approachable, certainly passed on her passion for creating beautiful and useful items. Would absolutely recommended this course. A great experience! Thank you. Xx"

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 🤗☕️🍪🍰🍩🙏"

The Boho Shed responded:

"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: Upholstery for Beginners Workshop - 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"

Jacqueline reviewed: Upholstery for Beginners Workshop - in Preston

"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"

"I'm so pleased you enjoyed the workshop Janet, and of course Mum's cakes :-). Thank you for your lovely review. x"

Eve reviewed: Upholstery for Beginners Workshop - 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: Upholstery for Beginners Workshop - 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"
