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! "

Rachel reviewed: Upholstery for Beginners Workshop - in Preston

"I have never done any upholstery before. I booked onto this workshop to learn some skills to tackle reupholstering a family bedding box. What a fabulous day! Not only did I gain the skills to ‘confidently’ have a go at my bedding box, but I also had such a great time. The whole day was relaxed, friendly and fun. Jo was brilliant, explaining and demonstrating each step clearly and supporting where needed to achieve a lovely little footstool. Would thoroughly recommend. Thank you too to Jo’s mum for the delicious cakes 😊😊. "

The Boho Shed responded:

"I’m so pleased you enjoyed the day Rachel and can’t wait to see your bedding box when finished. Thank you for your lovely review. I will pass your kind comments to Mum. 🙏💕"

Louise Carter reviewed: Upholstery for Beginners Workshop - in Preston

"I just wanted everyone to know, I had a wonderful day on Friday, on the BoHoShed Footstool Upholstery Workshop at Preston. Jo was a wonderful tutor. The other ladies on the course were fantastic to learn and work with. We all left the course, with delightful, beautiful foot stools. The day was so informative and easy to follow. Jo was attentive to each of us, showing and encouraging us all at every step of the way. The little tips and tricks, taught throughout the day were great and will be helpful in doing more projects at home. Jo is an endless source of information ,which she gave freely throughout the day, which will be very useful in the coming months. If you are thinking of booking onto the course, I encourage you to do so immediately, you will love it. Jo, thank you for making the day so productive and informative, allowing us to create such master pieces. PS. The cakes made by Jo's mum were delicious and an added bonus."

The Boho Shed responded:

"Thank you so much for your amazing review Louise, that’s so kind of you. It was lovely of your daughter to buy the workshop for your birthday. You were a pleasure to teach. I’m delighted you enjoyed the day, me too! 🙏💕"

Majed Aggad (MJ) reviewed: Upholstery for Beginners Workshop - in Cheadle

"The Beginners Upholstery Workshop is an absolute must for anyone looking to learn the art of upholstery or even just curious about it. From the moment I signed up for the class, I knew I was in for a treat. Jo, our fantastic instructor, guided us through the materials and tools needed, as well as every step of the process. It was such a pleasure to be surrounded by like-minded individuals who were equally passionate about upholstery, whether they pursued it professionally or as a hobby. Jo also gave us really useful tips and trade knowledge on how to tackle our own projects. But let me tell you, the best part was being able to walk away with a beautiful footstool that I proudly gifted to a friend. The workshop not only provided me with valuable skills but also an amazing piece of furniture that will be cherished for years to come. Thank you Jo for an unforgettable experience! Also, I'd like to give a shout-out to Jo's mum for those amazing cakes and scones! They were AMAZING! "

The Boho Shed responded:

"MJ, thank you so very much for your amazing review. You were an absolute pleasure to teach and you made such a lovely job of your stool. Thank you so much for your help setting up and packing up, you’re so kind, particularly with a bad back! Mum is really grateful for your appreciation of her cakes. 🙏💕"

Carol reviewed: Beginners DIY & Home Maintenance Workshop in Preston, Lancashire (1 Day)

"Did this course February 2024. Finally learnt how to use a drill properly and which one of those many drill bits is for what. We were all after the knowledge and confidence to be able to tackle some DIY ourselves, which we got. Lovely friendly people on the course and Jo is great "

The Boho Shed responded:

"Thanks so much Carol. I’m delighted you got so much out of the workshop. You were a fantastic group. X"

Nikk reviewed: Upholstery for Beginners Workshop - in Warrington

"I attended the Beginners Upholstery Course at Grappenhall Walled Garden. It couldn't have been a better day. Jo was welcoming and the group couldn't have been a nicer bunch of people. Jo initially talked us through the process of making our footstool and then we worked through the process step by step with Jo keeping check that we all understood what we were doing, lending a helping hand when needed. I really enjoyed the day and was so pleased with my footstool. (Thanks also goes to Jo's mum for the delicious cupcakes which were enjoyed by all)."

"Thank you so much for your lovely review Nikki. What a great day we had! I’m delighted you enjoyed it and got so much out of it. I will pass your kind comments about Mum’s cakes to her. X"

Jo was very patient, informative and super nice to us all and explained everything so well that I've come away and feel confident to have a go at it myself. Would definitely recommend this course - such a great venue too at the Walled Garden in Grappenhall Heys - food at lunch at the cafe was great too. If you fancy doing something creative and that you will actually use, then this is the course! Thanks Jo!! 🙏🏻"
