Vicky Ferguson reviewed: 6 Week Mindful Metal Clay; Newton Aycliffe

"Great venue with friendly staff and plenty of parking. Lindsay friendly, approachable and knowledgeable. Loved first session of course - clay easy to work with and you can be as creative as you want. Made several pieces in first session and can't wait to see how they turn out after firing next week."

Sharon McB reviewed: Seaglass Jewellery with Lindsay Forbes; Sedgefield

"Excellent course and Lindsay was absolutely fantastic. I was a complete beginner and was amazed at what I learned and the jewellery I created! The venue From Loft to Loved in Sedgefield was a beautiful, quirky treasure trove of things to buy. We were in the lovely workshop upstairs. Overall a great experience & extremely good value!!"

Bench Box responded:

Jeanette reviewed: Seaglass Jewellery with Lindsay Forbes; Sedgefield

"Fabulous course with an excellent tutor. A perfect opportunity to try different styles with wire wrapped seaglass without the expense of buying your own tools etc. The facilities are great at Loft to Loved, it's a beautiful shop with incredible owners, always willing to assist, full of enthusiasm and encouragement."

Bench Box responded:

"Thanks for your wonderful review Jeanette and for coming along, it was great to have you! I'm glad you enjoyed playing with the different techniques, gorgeous pieces created."

"Such a fun class! Lindsay was incredibly nice, helpful, and she was a great teacher. She encouraged everyone along the way and the finish rings were amazing! Definitely book with a friend(s) as it's more fun to have a socal buddy along the way. "

Bench Box responded:

"Thanks for your lovely review Melissa, glad you enjoyed the workshop. I hope you had a great first experience of soldering too, you made some fab rings!"
