Maker's bio

I currently design and make my jewellery from my studio at home in Birkhill, Angus, making work for private commissions, exhibitions and contemporary gift shops. I studied Jewellery and Metalwork at Duncan of Jordanstone , Dundee and graduated in June 2014 with BDes (hons) 1st class. My background is in Community Learning and Development and I currently work in the V & A Dundee as a freelance designer; as an Craft and Jewellery tutor with Fairmuir Adult Association and as the Craft tutor with NEST Creative Spaces, Blairgowrie. I also run beginners jewellery workshops which are advertised here and on my Facebook page. My jewellery designs are influenced by the beauty of natural forms, their vibrant colours and delicate structures. An ongoing collection of heirloom keepsakes, trinkets and charms adds further inspiration to my work. My designs evolve from immersing myself in making collages, sketching, photography and experimenting with a range of techniques and materials. Taking these initial ideas I make a variety of individual elements using textured sterling silver, hand patterned aluminium and semi-precious beads. These pieces are used either individually or combined with each other to create my collections.

Shannon Monaghan reviewed: Jewellery Workshop - Make a Silver Ring

"Sheila was absolutely brilliant! She was very patient when showing us what to do and helped every step of the way. She was very chatty, and offered us both drinks and biscuits for throughout the course! She couldn’t have made us both feel any more comfortable which made the experience even better. The rings turned out absolutely beautiful and it will be a forever keepsake for me and my sister. I will definitely be recommending Sheila and her course to anyone who is looking to craft as I couldn’t have had a better experience than I did today. Thank you so much! "

Nicole Andrews reviewed: Jewellery design workshop - silver pendant or silver earrings

"Fantastic teacher ♥️ I have done 2 workshops with Shelia at her studio. First workshop I made a silver ear cuff and second I made silver hoop earrings. Such a reasonable price for the length of workshop. The piece of jewellery you make is excellent quality, I have had so many compliments. Would absolutely recommend to anyone interested in jewellery making. Shelia is so friendly and knowledgeable! "

Terri Nicoslon reviewed: Jewellery Workshop - Make a Silver Ring

"I bought the ring making workshop for my mums Mother’s Day. We both had a brilliant morning with Sheila. She was very welcoming and patient with us both explaining what we were to do next. It was a really great day learning how rings were made and getting to choose our own design. We both love our rings so much. So glad I chose this course with Sheila she was really lovely. Will definitely be back for another workshop. Thanks again 🥰"

Louise Andrew reviewed: Jewellery design workshop - silver pendant or silver earrings

"My 13 year old daughter has now done two workshops with Sheila. She is very welcoming, with a lovely studio room. Sheila encouraged her to use a range of tools and techniques, guiding her through the process of making beautiful silver pendants. Sheila has a lovely calm, patient manner, would highly recommend Sheila's workshops"

"Hi Louise, it was a pleasure to work with your daughter on both occasions. She did very well making her pendants and they look lovely. Hope to meet you both again. Regards, Sheila"
