She was happy to check our work during the process to ensure everything was as it should be and gave us tips and tricks throughout to ensure we got exactly what we wanted.

Kat Frank reviewed: Silver Stacking Rings Workshop; with Lindsay Forbes of Laconic; Durham

"My daughters brought me this course for my birthday treat this year, I went along with my mum, we had a great time. The shop and gallery were a really nice place with a great atmosphere and the tutor was great, explaining everything really clearly and due to the class size of only six she was able to help everyone at all the stages as they needed it. I haven’t made rings before but I loved it and I am hoping to be able to attend more similar workshops to improve and learn a new skills. And we got tea and cakes!"

Laconic responded:

" Thanks Kat, I'm so glad you enjoyed the course. Such a fabulous birthday treat!"
