Working in a variety of areas from retail to repair, she has a great amount of knowledge in jewellery design and technical skills in goldsmithing.

Lucy reviewed: Wire Christmas Floral Mini Wreath Workshop; Sedgefield

"I thoroughly enjoyed my morning with Lindsay. She made everyone feel at ease, whether they were new to the craft or not. She is very knowledgeable and patient and was happy enough to provide 1:1 assistance whenever asked. Her experience and love for her craft shone through. I will definitely taking part in one of her future classes."

Bench Box responded:

"Thanks for coming along and for your wonderful review! It'd be lovely to see you again at another workshop in the future Lucy, glad you enjoyed it."
