Julie reviewed: Embellished wire & paper wall hanging workshop

"Judith is a lovely host in a quirky, stylish cafe and studio space. Everything was clearly explained and help given whenever needed, whether for how to do something, or advice on colour or pattern, so that I couldn’t be prouder of what I made! Time flew by, punctuated with good food, plenty of tea and nice chat. A really great day, which I’d thoroughly recommend whether you have lots of crafting experience or very little, like the friend I attended with, we both enjoyed ourselves and came away with little treasures, thanks to Judith."

Judith Brown Jewellery responded:

"Thanks for such a lovely review Julie, you both made lovely finished pieces to be proud of. Thanks for booking onto another workshop with me too!"

Andrea Jenn reviewed: Embellished wire & paper wall hanging workshop

"I attended this workshop with an arty and creative friend, and had my doubts about my own levels of creativity and what I would be able to achieve. However, I was so pleased with the results and I thoroughly enjoyed the whole day. It started with the location - what a wonderful gem of a place in Leek to hold the workshop. Lovely quirky cafe with a nice atmosphere. Everything was well organised, we all had our own visors for Covid safety, which were so good I forgot I had it on and tried to drink my coffee through it! Judith is very friendly and welcoming, gives great tips and instructions and talks you through the techniques, the tools and the materials. Really helpful and the time just flew by, it was very relaxing even though I was concentrating. Lovely lunch, back to more making and then yummy tea and cake before finishing our items. This workshop definitely brought out my creative side. If you are a craft hobbyist, you will love it. If you are worried like me that you are not very "arty" - you will love it!"

Judith Brown Jewellery responded:

"Thanks for the lovely review Andrea! I'm so pleased that your doubts about your creativity were swept way and you really enjoyed the day, I hope it means you might try other creative things in the future, that you might not have felt confident in trying before this workshop."

"Spent a lovely day learning new skills to produce a unique piece of jewellery. Judith was an excellent patient tutor giving lots of help and encouragement. The lunch, tea and cake was also delicious and I think the day was very good value for money. Highly recommend!"

"Thanks for your lovely review Clare!"

Maxine reviewed: Wire Jewellery

"A thoroughly enjoyable day with a very skilled and personable teacher in a lovely location. Judith shared several techniques and some beautiful beads, to enable us to create some stunning jewellery. What seemed impossible mid-morning became reality at the end of the day, with everyone leaving with a unique finished piece and the skills to continue to explore this craft at home. It was great to visit Judith’s own studio to admire her own work. Lovely lunch and cake, too!"

Judith Brown Jewellery responded:

"Thanks for the lovely review Maxine! I'm so glad that you enjoyed it and it was great to see everyone conquer the technique, I had faith you all would! Some fabulous results."

Lynn reviewed: Embroidered jewellery

"We had a delightful afternoon making embroidered earrings. Judith’s own work is so inspiring. There was a huge choice of materials and colours so everyone’s pieces were unique even though we all used the same techniques. Lovely homemade cake in the garden completed this lovely, relaxing treat."

Judith Brown Jewellery responded:

"Thanks for your lovely review Lynn, I'm so glad your enjoyed it having waited so patiently for us to be able to run the course safely! I hope to see you on another workshop in the future."

"This was a great course which I attended June 13th 2021. Not only was Judith a great teacher (especially with it being my first class) But All equipment was cleaned after ever use, with face guards to use. Every measure was taken to to make you feel safe and comfortable. Even my food allergy was catered for. Thanks again Judith."

Judith Brown Jewellery responded:

"I'm so pleased you enjoyed it, and I hope you go on to try other workshops, now that you've done your first! Your finished pieces were great and I like how you personalised them with vintage buttons from the family button tin. Thanks for your review."

Colleen Pearson reviewed: Embroidered jewellery

"A very enjoyable workshop and I learned new techniques. The choice of materials was excellent and ideas and templates were provided but it was also possible to produce our own designs. I was delighted with the end result. I feel inspired to use the techniques to produce more pieces. Also, the Covid - 19 procedures were thorough and the environment felt safe without affecting the running of the workshop. I have booked on more of Judith’s workshops."

Judith Brown Jewellery responded:

"It was great that you came with your own ideas and have been inspired to make more! Look forward to seeing you at your next workshop, and to seeing what you make then too."

Gail reviewed: Embellished wire & paper wall hanging workshop

"I booked on this course as i thought it looked interesting. I was not disappointed, everything was really covid aware all measures in place. Judith was informative and inspirational, she allowed us to get on with things whilst keeping a watchful eye on us, everything was available to use. I enjoyed it so much that if my shift patterns allow i will be doing another workshop. I also think this would make a great gift for someone."

Judith Brown Jewellery responded:

"I'm so glad you enjoyed it Gail, and look forward to seeing you on another workshop soon."

Annalisa Barbaglia reviewed: Wire and haberdashery jewellery workshop

"As the proud owner of one of the original pieces made by Judith in this style with haberdashery hooks, I was very excited to find the course at the beginning of 2020. The current circumstances meant that the actual date had to be delayed a lot, however Judith was extremely helpful and clear in her communications and I always felt like I could rely on the course happening as soon as it was safe to do so. This expectation was fulfilled; I felt perfectly safe on the day thanks to the safety measures in place, and the course itself was very enjoyable and useful - Judith is a very patient and careful teacher, and I now have two pairs of earrings I can wear with my original necklace! The venue and the cake were also excellent. Highly recommended for a different day out, and for a course that leaves you with actual wearable pieces by the end. Thank you Judith!"

Judith Brown Jewellery responded:

"I hope you enjoy wearing your earrings, and thanks for being so patient with the dates of the workshop moving due to Covid."

I haven’t been on a jewellery workshop before and wasn’t very confident but I came home with a lovely necklace after a very relaxing and productive day. Lunch and cake were excellent and Judith has taken every precaution with regard to Covid so I felt very safe. An excellent day, thank you Judith."
