Alice reviewed: Silver Stacking Rings Workshop - with Lindsay Forbes of Laconic; Sedgefield

"Wow-what an amazing experience this was! I got this as a gift and loved every second, Lindsay was so kind and considerate when we rearranged. I am only16 so I was nervous, however, the class was extremely interesting and Lindsay put me at ease instantly. I have had numerous compliments on my jewellery and would recommend this class to anyone with any skill set."

"I had a lovely morning learning the skill of how to make some silver textured earrings and necklace. Lindsay could not have been more helpful. I would definitely recommend anyone to attend one of her workshops. I am hoping to attend another of her workshops in the future."
