Jewelry Designer Update - 3 Necklace Favorites from Phoebe Stein

White Metal Mesh Drape Necklace by Phoebe Stein

 Students taking our Jewelry Design: Beading & Wireworking Course are treated in each unit of instruction to profiles of various jewelry designers. We wanted to check in with Brooklyn designer Phoebe Stein and pick three favorites from her PhoeBee's Knees Etsy Shop. Phoebe's creations are light, delicate, and modern. Her pieces are built to "last a lifetime" and they're quite affordable. Click on the photos of three of our favorites to get more information on each piece. Which one is your favorite?

    Share Your Review of a Sheffield School Course

    At the Sheffield School, we’re always looking for feedback from students and graduates on their experiences, their successes, and their overall thoughts on the quality of education that they receive from us. And it’s how we continue to make sure our courses meet the standards we’ve set for them.

    It makes our day when we hear from a former student. And that’s why we launched a new website, specifically to collect and showcase course reviews and testimonials!

    Introducing SheffieldSchoolReviews.com!

    It’s brand new, and we want to fill it with student and graduate reviews. Help us out by submitting your review today.

    Don’t have a review? That’s fine. You can still check out what others are saying about the courses by visiting the site.

    Announcing New Website Review for Interior Designers

    The Sheffield School was founded in 1985 as a school for aspiring interior designers. Since then, it's grown and expanded to offer education in other creative areas, but we never forgot our roots. And today, we're happy to announce a new service we've created specifically for interior designers.

    It's called SiteCatapult! And it's a website review service for interior designers of all shapes and sizes.

    We did some research and found that today's interior designers drive a huge amount of new business through their websites. In fact, most professional interior designers today use their website to drive word of mouth marketing and referrals. But when we talked to our students and graduates, many did not know where to get started with their website.

    By taking ideas from marketers, website developers, and interior designers, we were able to create a service that we're sure interior designers are going to love.

    If you have a website, you can purchase a professional web evaluation. Our evaluator will dive head first into your site. And using some basic information that you provide us, will fill out a 16 page evaluation form designed to show you how your site stacks up against the competition, and give you real-life steps that you can use to take your site to the next level.

    Don't have a website yet? We've got you covered too. We're offering a downloadable ebook for $19.99 that serves as a guide to creating your interior design website.

    We've got something for everyone. Check it out and sign up for your evaluation or ebook today!
