Karen Meins reviewed: Wire wrap a seaglass pendant with Lindsay Forbes; Sedgefield

"I wanted to say a massive thank you to From Loft to Loved for hosting the sea glass pendant workshop on Saturday 27th Apr 24 and an even bigger thank you to Lindsay Forbes for making it such an informative and fun morning. As my first session of this type and also the first time I had been to From Loft to Loved, I have to say the workshop not only inspired me but gave me the confidence to have a go at home. The shop also was a source of great inspiration. Thanks for a fun Saturday morning spent in not only a mindful task but also a productive one. I have already subscribed and bookmarked your websites so I can hear about and keep checking for other workshops. Thanks Karen"

Bench Box responded:

"Thanks for the lovely review Karen, I'll be sure to pass this on to the venue too! Glad we inspired you!"

"Lovely couple of hours making sea glass pendants. We were taught three different techniques with great patience from Lindsay and came away with 5 lovely sea glass pendants to add to chains. Thoroughly enjoyed the morning and look forward to doing additional classes "

Bench Box responded:

"Thanks for coming along Laura. Glad you enjoyed your morning of crafting and well done on creating 5 pendants, what a great selection to choose from!"
