Andrea Fellman reviewed: Silver Jewellery Day Workshop at Studio Budgie Galore, Sheffield

"Most enjoyable day learning how to make a silver ring. Daisy explained everything so very clearly and helped every step of the way, if we needed it. There was plenty of tea and cake and the group were wonderful too. The only thing that I would suggest is to look at some simple ideas so that you know what you might like to try to make! We all came away with a ring that we were very proud to wear. Thank you."

sue coonan reviewed: Copper bowl one day workshop

"I enjoyed a fun, creative day and came home with 2 beautiful and very different copper bowls. Melissa explained each process very clearly and gave all members of the course lots of individual attention. I would highly recommend the course to people of all abilities as each participant made at least 2 unique pieces of art."

Judith reviewed: Copper bowl one day workshop

"I just loved this copper bowl workshop! Melissa was a very good teacher and the small class size meant plenty of one to one time if needed. It was very satisfying to leave at the end of the day with two beautiful copper bowls - I haven't stopped making them since! :-) I would definitely recommend this workshop."

Kay Watson reviewed: Silver Jewellery Day Workshop at Studio Budgie Galore, Sheffield

"The silver jewellery making one day workshop was an excellent experience, a real introduction to jewellery making. Melissa and Daisy were the tutors on the day, with a group of 9, so plenty of 1-1 time when needed. I learned several different techniques, Melissa and Daisy are great teachers and very patient! I came away at the end of the day with a very respectable, wearable piece of jewellery. Highly recommended."

"Jules was very knowledgeable, friendly and patient. I attended a 1 day course on my own and instantly felt at ease, even though everyone else was there in pairs! Would definitely recommend and am now contemplating attending a weekly course. Big thanks to Jules xxx"

"Jules is a great teacher and always has time for the people in the class who are all at different stages and with mixed abilities.

Louise reviewed: Jewellery Making & Silversmithing - Weekly Evening & Daytime Courses at Studio Budgie Galore Sheffield

"The studio is well equipped with everything you need, spacious and always warm and welcoming. Following the introductory course which is taught and covers basic silversmithing techniques to get you started you can then attend 8 week terms. There is always plenty of excellent supervision and advice from very experienced teachers. The class sizes are small, the atmosphere is relaxed with enthusiasm and support in abundance. I look forward to my Monday evenings and Jules and Melissa won't be getting rid of me any time soon!"

Pat Glanfield reviewed: Jewellery Making & Silversmithing - Weekly Evening & Daytime Courses at Studio Budgie Galore Sheffield

"I chanced upon Studio Budgie Galore at 'Art in the Gardens', the Botanical Gardens in Sheffield. I loved the idea of the items it was possible to make and signed up for a Taster course, which amounted to 8 hours. This finished just before Christmas and was brilliant! Not only did I make a silver ring, but also some earrings that I was able to give as presents. Since then I have continued to attend weekly sessions and continue to learn new techniques. I have been asked to make things for friends, which is a lovely thing to do, as it means they like what I'm doing. Highly recommended."

Julie Allison reviewed: Silver Jewellery Day Workshop at Studio Budgie Galore, Sheffield

"Three of us went along to the course not quite knowing what to expect and all of us were a little nervous. There was no need to be - we had a splendid time. Jules was so patient and helpful and explained everything so well - anyone would 'get' it. The whole thing was very relaxed and the bigger group we were part of were lovely. It was amazing how - after the explanations of the different possible techniques - everyone just dived in and had a go. I was delighted with my new earrings and would thoroughly recommend this to anyone."

Laura Scholey reviewed: Silver Jewellery Day Workshop at Studio Budgie Galore, Sheffield

"Jules is a great teacher, very patient and encouraging. The day was well planned in terms of timings and refreshments and the class size was nice and small. I was really pleased with with the stacking rings I made as i’d never done any jewellery making before, but had always loved D&T at school. Would now love to go onto the weekly lessons to develop my skill!"

Jane Wharmby reviewed: Silver Jewellery Day Workshop at Studio Budgie Galore, Sheffield

"This was an excellent course. Jules was lovely - patient and encouraging - and made sure we were all refreshed and fed to keep us going. It was really interesting to see the different techniques and be able to test and "play" before deciding what we were going to do. Added to this we came away with earrings and all the bits and bobs we had been practicing on as well. Brilliant."
