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:

"Thanks for your wonderful review Sharon. I'm so glad you enjoyed it. You made some fabulous pieces, I hope you enjoy wearing them!"
