I recently attended a two-day DIY course led by Michelle, and it was an excellent experience. She was incredibly knowledgeable and came prepared with a wide range of tools, which made the sessions very hands-on and practical.

Over the two days, we learned how to build a stud wall, put up shelves, and install curtain rails properly—skills that feel really useful and achievable to take home. Michelle also gave great advice on our own home projects, including which tools to buy and how to choose the right fixings like wall plugs, screws, and drill bits.

What I found especially helpful were the tips and hacks she shared to make DIY tasks easier—many of which we got to practice ourselves during the course. It really boosted my confidence.

The course was very inclusive, with Michelle making sure that all ages and abilities were supported and comfortable throughout.

This course is specifically for women, which created a really supportive and comfortable learning environment. I would highly recommend it to any woman wanting to learn practical DIY skills in a friendly setting. If they ever run a car maintenance course, I would definitely attend!

Thank you Michelle for two days packed with learning, practice, laughter’s and patience The course suits any beginner perfectly, but also those who have used tools, but never got the foundational know-how. This is exactly what The Extended DIY Workshop is about: a solid grounding that will give thirsty for more!

I enjoyed this course very much. Learnt a lot and can’t wait to get stuck into tasks around the house, with confidence. Michelle was extremely knowledgeable & patient!

Absolutely fantastic course, Michelle and Sarah were very knowledgeable and very encouraging. I came to the course without any real experience of DIY and I can now confidently use power tools and identify their parts, hang shelves and curtain poles, make items out of wood and even build a stud wall! Do not hesitate, it is well worth the money and the teachers and group of ladies were all lovely too, great weekend!
