Laura carr reviewed: Wire wrap a seaglass pendant with Lindsay Forbes; Durham

"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 "
