SUMMARY:Etching Techniques for Jewellery (A33)
DESCRIPTION:Explore ways to add texture to your jewellery using etching techniques. Learn how to apply mordants and resists  to create interesting surface decoration on a variety of metals. (Morning\, Tuesdays).\n Book Now\n\n– Etching is an especially effective technique to add pattern\, line and texture to your jewellery\, and on this course we introduce you to a range of approaches that are particular to jewellery applications. \nTraditionally\, etching is used by printmakers as a process for making repeatable prints on paper. However\, when we apply the technique\, our focus is directly on mark-making to enhance the surface of metal. Taking a print from your finished pieces would be the real icing on the cake!  \nYou’ll learn all about the pros and cons of various mordants and resists\, and the associated health and safety issues relating to their usage. \nWhat will I learn?\nYou’ll gain invaluable experience using traditional mordant / resist applications used in etching (Acids to dissolve the metal\, varnishes\, stencils\, tapes to stop out the surface). You’ll also experiment with a form of photo etching\, where a photographic image can be etched onto metal plate.  We’ll cover electro etching too – this is a relatively safe method for etching non precious metals at home.. \nFinally\, we’ll discuss how to add colour using cold enamels\, oxides and other patinas. \nWhat will I produce?\nYou’ll produce a range of test pieces that explore the various approaches to etching\, also reflecting your personal aesthetic. We anticipate that your samples will provide lasting reference -and inspiration- for your future jewellery projects. \nIt’s likely that you will produce several finished pieces of jewellery during the course. Alternatively you may wish to concentrate on producing as many exploratory samples as possible for your future jewellery projects. \nMaterials\nThe course fee covers the cost of your materials for initial experiments. If you are working on larger pieces for your personal projects we can supply the metal for you at cost. \nIf you’d like to work with precious metals you may also bring your own supply to work with. \nHallmarking\nWe are able to offer a hallmarking service for precious jewellery made at Flux. So if you  would like to have your work hallmarked with the Flux Studios hallmark we can arrange this at cost price. \nCourse Tutor: Vicky Forrester and Becky Dockree \nMax student numbers: 10 students  \nCourse Dates: 23 April – 2 July 2019. (Half term: 28 May – 1 June) \nClass Times: Tuesday mornings\, 10am – 1pm \nCourse Fee:  Standard: £260 / *Concessions: £235 / Tuesday Extra £470 \n*if you are on a low wage\, or in receipt of tax credits or other benefit you qualify for the Flux concessionary rate. This is a discretionary discount which we personally subsidise. Please consider how much you need this discount before choosing the concessionary option. \nMaterials Kit : Basic materials are included. \nWould you like to stay for the day? We also offer a Tuesday Extra package that gives you 4 hours of follow on time in the studio to work on your own projects. Read more here \n Book Now\nCourse code A33 \n \nGeneral information about our Advanced courses:\nThese advanced jewellery courses are designed to assist you on an one-to-one basis\, by providing the tutoring\, tools and equipment required to achieve your personal objectives. You will have the opportunity to improve existing skills\, meanwhile also developing new skills by exploring new techniques. As the course progresses you can end up producing rings\, bangles and brooches\, experimental jewellery\, art pieces etc. In addition\, throughout these courses we introduce a new theme or technique to the group\, to stimulate new ways of working.

SUMMARY:Make an integrated clasp for a Necklace - Box clasps to Toggles and Bayonet  (A32)
DESCRIPTION:Learn how to make a range of effective clasps for jewellery. Design and make your own integrated clasp for  a necklace. (Mornings\, Tue)\n Book Now\n– Are you frustrated by the clasps that are commercially available to us for our jewellery designs? Nothing lets your work down more gracelessly than the ugly and fiddle-some lobster catch! So\, for this term’s course we are going old school as we explore how to design and make our own clasps for necklaces. Whether you favour box clasps\, toggles or bayonets\, the focus here is on making a visually integrated clasp that adds a beautiful element to your jewellery design while also providing secure attachment.  \nWhat will I learn?\nHow can we take advantage of gravitational forces to produce effective joining mechanisms? What can we do to ensure elements fit together securely? How do toggles\, box clasps and bayonets work? \nOur first exploratory project aims to develop your technical skills while also encouraging experimentation and design development.  \nThe second project requires that you put your design and technical skills together to make a necklace having an integrated\, functioning clasp. \n\nProject 1 – Exploring solutions\, making samples. Make 3 effective clasps for a range of scenarios\nProject 2 – design and make a necklace with an integrated clasp\n\nWhat will I produce?\nYou’ll have sketchbook pages bursting with ideas that explore shape and functionality\, and a box full of quick tests in card and metal sheet. \nYou will also have made at least 2 well-executed sample clasps that have complex functionality\, eg box claps\, bayonet clasps\, screw-thread attachments\, keyhole clasps. \nYour final piece will be a necklace with a beautifully integrated clasp\, that will convince you never to by a lobster catch ever again! \nCourse Tutor: Vicky Forrester  \nMax student numbers: 10 students  \nCourse Dates: 15 January –  19 March 2019.

SUMMARY:Encapsulating techniques for jewellery: watch lenses and related cold connections (A30)
DESCRIPTION:Explore ways to give permanence to delicate objects in your jewellery. Encapsulation techniques using methods from resin to watch lenses for jewellery.\n Book Now\nOn this course we explore methods to add secondary and perhaps more delicate elements to your metal jewellery.  You’ll produce a range of tests that explore how to use tabs\, screws and rivets for joining rigid and flexible elements together. \nYou’ll also have the chance to experiment with watch lenses for jewellery purposes. Much like a picture frame\, lenses offer the opportunity to protect delicate materials while showing them to their best. You will get the chance to explore 3 types of lense that can protect\, magnify or allow movement beneath.  \nFinally we will look at the use of resins for small scale jewellery work\, to encapsulate precious materials.  \nWith the focus on encapsulation each project will also require the development of metalworking techniques. You can expect to make bezels\, frames and claw or tab settings for your designs. \n\nExplore ways to join rigid and flexible materials together using tabs\, screws and rivets.\nExperiment with lenses – design and make a pendant\, brooch or ring with an encapsulated precious element.\nGiving delicate objects permanence – tapes\, varnishes and resins.  \n\nBy the end of this course you will have produced a reference of samples that explore how you can incorporate delicate or non metalic elements into your jewellery.  \n Book Now\nCourse Tutor: Vicky Forrester \nMax student numbers: 10 students  \nCourse Dates: 17 April – 26 June 2018.

SUMMARY:Experimental stone setting techniques - Delft\, Claw and Wax (A28)
DESCRIPTION:Explore experimental and conventional approaches to stone setting. Combine traditional and experimental techniques to produce unusual\, stone-set jewellery. (Mornings\, Tuesdays).\nBook Now\n– On this jewellery course we explore traditional and experimental stone setting techniques in order to re-imagine new ways to design jewellery with stones.  \nThe aim of the course is to create designs that begin with the stone as the source of inspiration. How best can you show all off the qualities of your stone?  \nFirstly we begin with the bare fundamentals of traditional stone setting. Once you understand how to create simple\, reliable settings using conventional techniques\, you can then adapt these processes to truly honour the spirit of your gemstones.  \nSince the stone becomes the focus\, then we are free to explore design and technique in equal measure. \nThis course is presented in 3 projects that explore a range of techniques you can employ for creative stone setting.  \n\nExplore setting techniques that use claws. Make a traditional claw setting to understand the principles. Then deconstruct and reconstruct the setting to explore the necessary elements that keep your gemstone secure.\nWork with wax to create a setting for a large stone (pendant or ring).\nUse the delft sand casting technique to set a stone directly into molten metal (pendant or ring).\n\n\nExtension Project – Use your project results to create a unique pair of earrings with an experimental stone setting.\n\n Book Now\nCourse Tutor: Vicky Forrester \nMax student numbers: 10 students  \nCourse Dates: 19 Sept – 21 Nov 2017 \nClass Times: Tuesday mornings\, 10am – 1pm \nCourse Fee:  Standard: £260 / Concessions: £225 / Tuesday Extra £430 \nMaterials Kit : Basic materials are included. \nWould you like to stay for the day?
