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."

Rachel Grace reviewed: Silver Stacking Rings Workshop; with Lindsay Forbes - Sedgefield

"My fiancé and I attended this course and had the best afternoon. We visited as a day date for our anniversary. We genuinely couldn’t have asked for a better way to spend the day. We made beautiful rings to take away and Lindsey was so accommodating. We had a great laugh, and everything was explained in detail. Would 💯 recommend for anyone wanting to do this course. "

Bench Box responded:

"Thanks for your fab review Rachel. It was great having you both, I'm glad you enjoyed your afternoon together, a great way to celebrate your anniversary!"
