I started my metalsmith journey with JCW and Im so happy to have found this little gem in Miami! Took the Fabrication and Soldering workshop and I learned so much! I also rent space at the studio so I have access to a bunch of tools, resources and access to a wonderful and helpful community (: Recommend this school to anyone who wants to learn or expand their skill sets!

Took metal and fabrication class (1) for beginners and it was super cool! I learned how to make a ring and set a stone! Also got to use a bunch of different tools and a torch! Being somebody who works with electronics and computers, this place was amazing and inspiring. I will definitely come back for more classes and bring some friends!

I took my first class at Jewelry Creations Workshop 8 months ago and never left! Steven is an amazing teacher, he makes sure students learn the skills and techniques so they understand it and can then go make jewelry on their own. I also rent space in the studio, and there is such a cool, artist/maker community there full of creative people who share ideas, help each other out and make beautiful art and jewelry. I highly recommend Steven as a teacher, he is knowledgeable, professional, creative and fun, and you will learn A LOT from him! There are lots of great classes for all levels, and the space is really well set up. If you want to learn something new, check this place out!

I have been making jewelry and selling my work for 15 years.Steven is an excellent teacher with a wonderful facility.I have taken numerous classes taught by him. Hes well trained and imparts a wealth of knowledge. Plus, he brings other master metalsmith workers to teach special classes. There is a relaxed, but professional atmosphere in his studio where he has 10 fully fitted workbenches.Steven also rents out studio space to those who dont have their own space or dont want to invest in the vast array of tools needed to have a fully functional studio. Its the best deal!I highly recommend the Jewelry Creations Workshop studio for group or private classes or for renting studio space.

After finding Steven online, reading the testimonials and corresponding via email I finally had a chance to speak with him by phone and arrange a lesson. I had a good feeling from the start! I knew he had his work cut out as I was coming to him as a self taught artist, with a trillion questions! Time was well spent determining just exactly where I was in the process. Dissecting each question with a marker on a white board, Stevens attention to detail was exactly what I needed. Jumping right into theory, design and construction made me understand I was in for the lesson of my life! I then shadowed him with my project of choice and took in every ounce of knowledge he was sharing. Steven was very patient and forgiving when I just didnt get it. He came up with some creative alternatives, which lent to my learning style. This gave me the spark of confidence that I desired to move forward.Steven gives his knowledge graciously and effortlessly; he has a way to naturally flow through life while touching others with his gift.

I recently had the Beading/Wiring class and it was GREAT! I really enjoyed the hands on approach, Stevens patience, and the various techniques that were taught. I highly recommend these classes to anyone interested in making jewelry. Steven has done a great job of putting these classes together for any skill level.

As a novice, I had no idea what to expect. The fabrication and soldering classes were surprisingly comprehensive, engaging, and yes….fun. Steven Brownlee has a gift for teaching. Soldering and fabrication is a strange combination of art, creativity, math, and science and “The Professor” is skilled at pulling these concepts together in a meaningful way. Steven fosters a culture of teaching the fundamentals but then, encouraging each student to find their own style and developing the skill set to achieve their vision. The workshop itself is an awesome facility with every imaginable tool, machine, and device to help beginner or seasoned artist bring their idea to life. It also serves as a hub for local artists and was helpful to interact with these professionals and personally see the wide range of artistic specialties.This is a truly unique resource and I look forward to taking additional classes and continuing my own creative journey.

My fiancé & I just made our wedding rings at JCW and we had a fantastic experience! Steven & Tracey were such good teachers & very helpful throughout the entire process. They made sure we had everything we needed to create the rings we envisioned & they turned out beautifully! I would definitely recommend them.

I did a Corporate team building exercise where we made a ring with our corporate logo. The class was really fun and informative. I never imagined that I would enjoy making jewelry but I did. The staff was laid back and gave the right amount of instruction. I plan on going back. The space has a really fun vibe bursting with creativity. This is an experience you will never forget.

I am so happy I invested in this class! Steven is a great teacher, so patient with my never ending questions but very adamant on you doing it on your own. I learned so much and walked away with some rad stuff. I took the weekend class for beginners and met some amazing and talented people in the process. I will carry this memory with me for the rest of my life, thank you for being part of the journey.If youre thinking about taking one of his classes but are not sure if its worth it, it absolutely is. Take a chance & you wont regret it! Nothing but positive vibes in this studio & maybe a cute shop pup.

My mother Gloria, had a wonderful jewelry class with Steven Brownlee. He is an excellent teacher, his instructions were very clear and he didnt mind repeating himself. She loved his familiarity and had a good time. His cheerful spirit was helpful in the creative process.

What a great class! I learned alot from Steve. He is a great and generous teacher. The workshop is great with lots of interesting tools to learn to use. I had a great time and make a pretty good looking ring for my first try! I definitely recommend Steve and the Jewelry Creations workshop! I will be taking more classes here.Linda Z

Jewelry Creations Workshop is a gem to find in the jewelry makers community of Miami.The space itself is very pleasant and work-friendly, with many machines and room to work. JCW has benches you can rent for private use but also offers beginning/intermediate/advanced classes to build your skill sets as a jewelry maker (classes are usually max 8~9 people).Stevens beginners Fabrication & Soldering class has helped me out tremendously and given me the skill sets I need to start bending and soldering metal on my own. The class teaches you how to work in primarily copper and silver, with a second level class to build on what you leaned in the first 18 hour course. The coolest part is you get to leave the class with things youve made: a couple of rings and the final project, setting a stone in a pendant or ring.The school offers other beginners class as well. I took the Wireworking & Beading course (one day workshop) a few weeks ago and left home with a brass pendant that we created in class from brass wire.For me, jewelry making is an awesome creative outlet and this establishment has helped make my dreams come true.

The classes are very good. I learned so much about how to work correctly,use the right tools and soldering. I would recommend to take level one and two together. The second level solidifies the techniques learned in the first class. Steven Brownlee is a great teacher because he is so knowledgeable and patient.

Steve is an excellent instructor and I am looking forward to taking another class soon.

The experience I had at JCW was better than Id even hoped for. Steve Brownlee gave me step-by-step demos of every workflow, along with pertinent info on the tools and materials. I left each class with a wealth of knowledge and a piece of jewelry as evidence. I also took with me the philosophy of doing and not over thinking -- if it works, its right. I strongly recommend Jewelry Creations Workshop to anyone who wants to learn jewelry fabrication from a truly knowledgeable teacher in a well-equipped environment. I plan to return for more training.
