Andy reviewed: Set a seaglass pendant in Silver; Sedgefield

"Thanks for another brilliant jewellery making class! This is the third one I've done with you and I'm hoping to do more in the future. I ADORE my sea glass pendant, and I've already bought all the tools and have made 2 more!"

Bench Box responded:

"Thanks for your wonderful review Andy, It was lovely to have you join another workshop. I LOVE that you've made some more pendants too, I bet they're beautiful!"

"A very positive and creative time with Lindsey. She was so patient as I hadn't tried this craft before. I would definitely recommend it to anyone and very happy I managed to make a ring and earrings to take home."

Bench Box responded:

"Thanks for your lovely review and for coming along Margaret. The jewellery you made was lovely, I hope you enjoy wearing it too!"

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."
