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!"

Jan reviewed: Wire Christmas Wreath Workshop, including lunch - with Lindsay Forbes of Laconic, Darlington

"Lovely morning workshop. Very busy and rewarding having my wire wreath as a forever decoration. Lunch was lovely but had little time to eat it as we were so busy creating. The venue was pleasant but it was cold and didn’t really warm up. This didn’t detract from the enjoyment but we were chilly and needed a warm when we left. An extra coffee/tea would have been good on arrival to get us settled "

Laconic responded:

" Thanks for your feedback Jan, much appreciated and some great points made too. You made a gorgeous wreath and I hope it hangs somewhere proudly! "
