SUMMARY:Design Challenges for Silver Jewellery  - Make a one-piece Brooch (OB01)
DESCRIPTION:Explore the key elements of brooch functionality. Experiment with alternative designs to existing solutions. Use limited tools to create a brooch from a single piece of metal. \nBook Now\n\n– What mechanisms do we use to make a brooch stay firmly on your clothes? We jewellers have an array of fixtures and fittings available for purchase\, that we normally solder (or glue ˚∆˚) to our designs. But many of these are downright ugly\, or ineffective\, and often not suitable. With a little ingenuity we can break away from tradition to find clever ways of designing that give subtle delight to the maker! Are you ready to take the challenge of the One-Piece Brooch? \nWhere’s the point?\nThe aim of the course is to design and make a unique brooch (which you will wear home) that is made from one piece of metal\, with no additions. No Solder\, no glue\, no rivets. \nWhich techniques are we left with? Initial experiments with card will set us in a direction\, but metal has an entirely unique set of characteristics that allow us to change size and shape with a single hammer blow. Drilling\, cutting\, filing forming and forging all take on new and challenging significance as we seek to make our brooch. \nDesign challenges for silver jewellery\nThis is a delightfully playful course that will instil beginners with founding design skills for jewellery. Additionally beginners will learn the core jewellery making techniques that we employ\, using our most essential tools. (Piercing saw\, drills\, files\, pliers\, hammers\, mallets\, stakes etc) \nFor more advanced students\, the one-piece brooch provides constraints that offer a fabulous way to re-invigorate your creative practice. Working with strict limitations can be conversely liberating as we are forced to push against these boundary walls in search of a satisfactory conclusion. And so we find ways to re-explore techniques\, expand our technical skills and think laterally.  \nWhat will I produce?\nIt’s anticipated that you will produce numerous exploratory ideas in card\, and at least one copper prototype brooch. Your final piece\, in silver\, will be a culmination of  your tests\, prototypes and developing ideas. \nThe course fee covers the cost of non-precious materials\, and you will also be provided with some silver to make your brooch. \n(note there is a limit to the size of sheet silver we can include\, but if you want to go bigger you can purchase additional precious metal to work with) \nIf you would like to have your brooch hallmarked with the Flux Studios hallmark this can also be arranged at cost price. \nMore info will be provided at the time of booking your place. \nThis fee includes all materials for your use. Refreshments will also be provided. \nPlease check your eligibility before choosing the concessionary option. \nBook Now\nCourse Tutor: Vicky Forrester. An additional tutor will assist if more than 7 students enrol for this course \nMax Student numbers: 7  \nWeekday Date:  Saturday 21 and Sunday 22 March 2020 \nClass Times: 10.00am – 5pm \nCourse Fee: \nInternational/Full fee £350 \nUK residents £295 \n  \nCourse code: OB01\nBook Now\nOne Piece Brooches © V Forrester 2010 \n

SUMMARY:Studio Casting Techniques for Jewellery (DC15)
DESCRIPTION:Studio Casting Techniques for Jewellery: Weekend Course.\nBook Now\n– This weekend course introduces numerous home- studio casting techniques for jewellery and other small accessories. \nWhat will I learn?\nWith focus firmly on the experimental\, this is an exciting opportunity to try out a variety of approaches to casting and mould making. The aim is to equip you with techniques you can carry on exploring in your in the home studio.. \nWhen casting your outcome is determined by the type of mould you made. We present you with a comprehensive overview of the various techniques used in casting\, both for studio and commercial use. We will also discuss methods for batch producing and approaches to making prototypes for mould making. Then over 2 days you’ll get the chance to explore common studio techniques including  the use of cuttlefish\, delft sand\, balsa and plywood for mould making purposes. Initially we’ll use pewter as our metal for casting\, and we will also look at ways to incorporate other materials into the cast. \nYou may also work with silver if you wish\, but you will need to bring your own metal. Additional advice will be given when you book your place. \nWhat will I produce?\nIt is anticipated that you will produce a range of progressive test pieces that could form the basis of a charm necklace or bracelet. We anticipate that your samples will provide lasting reference -and inspiration- for your future jewellery projects. \nMaterials\nThe course fee covers the cost of all non-precious materials. You will use pewter as the main material for casting. Additional materials (acrylic\, beads\, stones\, shells etc) for inclusions and mould-making will also be provided. \nYou may also bring your own precious materials to work with. You can also recycle old silver jewellery if you wish. In this instance please note we recommend also using some silver casting grain to ensure good flow. \nCan I get my work hallmarked?\nWe are able to offer a hallmarking service for precious jewellery made at Flux – If you  would like to have your work hallmarked with the Flux Studios hallmark this can be arranged at cost price. \nBook Now\nTea\, coffee and light refreshments are provided throughout the weekend. \nCourse Tutor: Vicky Forrester.

SUMMARY:Cold Enamelling Jewellery Techniques CE02
DESCRIPTION:Add vibrance and colour to your jewellery: Explore cold enamelling techniques.\nBook Now\nThis 2 day course is a great introduction to ways to combine cold enamel with metal\, bringing new possibilities to add colour\, texture and vibrance to your jewellery. \nCold enamel is a versatile medium that can be applied in a number of ways to create stunning effects. It comes in a wide range of colours\, and you can get opaque and translucent versions too. It’s great to use on it’s own\, however you can also add other media to the cold enamel\, for example metal dust to create starry effects – or if you are using translucent enamels you can embed precious objects into it (flowers\, watch parts etc). \nSince cold enamel is a type of resin it takes time to set and so this course runs over 2 consecutive Saturdays. \n15 and 22 June 2019 \n  \n \nWhat will I learn?\nThe first Saturday will focus on making several metal elements into which you can add cold enamels. Loosely based around the traditional enamelling method of cloisonne\, you will make ‘cells’ from wires\, which can then be filled with colours of your choice. These elements may be pendants\, earrings\, or bead-like elements for a chain. \nWe’ll start you off with copper and brass wire\, sheet and tube –  and for your final / best design we’ll provide you with some silver. \nBeginner jewellers will learn core jewellery skills for shaping and soldering metal. If you’re  a more experienced jeweller we expect you’ll make more complex forms. We encourage you to explore additional techniques that challenge the norm. \nWhen you return for the second Saturday your cold enamel should be set and we focus on polishing and finishing techniques for the pieces you have made. Our aim is for you to leave wearing at least one of your new pieces of jewellery! \nOnce introduced to this technique you can explore its endless possibilities and apply it to your making and design process.  \nWhat will I produce?\nWe anticipate that you will produce at least one finished piece of jewellery in copper with cold enamels\, and one with silver and cold enamels. Depending on the complexity of your design\, you may also have time to produce additional items that explore the technique further. \nMaterials\nThe course fee covers the cost of materials to make an initial pendant or similar from copper or brass\, and also one in silver. If you wish to make additional pieces in precious metals you may bring your own stock. We can also advise on the purchase of extra materials. \nCan I get my work hallmarked?\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 this can be arranged at cost price. \nWe’ll provide you with tea\, coffee and light refreshments throughout the weekend. You’ll need to bring some lunch. \nCourse Tutor: Raffaella Nisi. An additional tutor will assist if more than 7 students enrol for this course \nMax student numbers: 6 – 12 (with an additional tutor) \nCourse Dates: 15 and 22 June 2019 To be confirmed \nClass Times: 10.00am – 5pm \nBook Now\nCourse Fee: \nInternational/Full fee £350 \nUK residents £225 \n*Concessions £195 \n*If you are a UK residents and on a low wage\, or in receipt of tax credits or other benefit you qualify for the Flux concessionary rate.

SUMMARY:Etching Techniques for Jewellery (B33)
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. (Evening\, 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.

SUMMARY:Etching Techniques for Jewellery (TF11)
DESCRIPTION:Etching Techniques for Jewellery: Weekend Course.\nBook Now\n\n– On this course we introduce you to a range of etching techniques for jewellery and their application\, especially in relation to pattern-making and texturing. \nWe will discuss the pros and cons of various mordants and resists\, and the associated health and safety issues relating to their usage. \nWhat will I learn?\nAs well as exploring traditional mordant / resist applications used in etching (Acids to dissolve the metal\, varnishes\, stencils\, tapes to stop out the surface)\, we will also experiment with a form of photo etching which allows for the transfer of a photographic image to act as a resist for stopping out acid erosion of the metal surface.  We’ll cover electro etching too – 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. \nOn the second day you may wish to concentrate on producing a finished piece of jewellery such as a bangle or pendant. Alternatively you may wish to concentrate on producing as many exploratory samples as possible in the time given. \nMaterials\nThe course fee covers the cost of all materials. Metals available for your use include brass\, copper and gilding metal. \nYou may also bring your own precious materials to work with. \nCan I get my work hallmarked?\nWe are able to offer a hallmarking service for precious jewellery made at Flux.

SUMMARY:Beyond Metal - Interdisciplinary Craft Skills For Contemporary Jewellery Practice (TX04))
DESCRIPTION:Exploring ideas through mixed media; new fashioned jewellery-making for the curious. Weekend Course.\nBook Now\nJewellery is widely acknowledged as the earliest art form; our ancestors would fashion wood\, bone\, shell and stone into significant objects that they could wear or carry. On this course we aim to reconnect with this purest drive to create. Beyond metal\, without limitation we embrace all and any materials\, and all techniques as a means to make jewellery. This course draws upon interdisciplinary craft skills and mixed media with a view to creating unique contemporary jewellery objects. \nWith this as our base line we begin with no rules. We explore how we can borrow techniques across traditional craft disciplines to express our intentions. How can we incorporate the skill of the shoe maker\, the paper artist or the weaver into our craft? Can we make jewellery out of leather\, or a shoe out of copper? Is it possible to make 3 dimensions from the wordsmith’s art? Could we borrow the principles of corsetry to create a statement cuff? \nWith the focus on interdisciplinary techniques and mixed materials we also invite you to explore the meaning of jewellery\, and its message. Must it be beautiful? Does it need to be comfortable? Should it last forever? Is the message ‘no message‘? \nCome & be radical! Plant new seeds to enrich your creative practice. \nWhat will I learn?\nIn this weekend workshop you will have the opportunity to explore different metal and craft techniques to create a piece of mixed media jewellery unique & meaningful to you. Our aim is to draw on your existing skills and interests and so there is room to be led by who you are\, what you bring\, and what you wish to create. \nInto this mix of assets we will also introduce techniques traditional to metal\, such as riveting\, forming\, tab making & screw fixing.  \nIn transforming ideas into 3D form we’ll examine the characteristics of available materials (like resistance\, colourfastness\, water resistance\, stretch\, thickness\, composition\, stiffness). this knowledge will assist you to design unique structures – and appropriate connection methods- to create a jewellery item of substance. \nThis course gives a great opportunity to explore how to work with different materials in your jewellery making practice\, whether you are beginner or advanced. \nWhat will I produce?\nWe anticipate that you will produce a range of progressive test pieces that explore interdisciplinary techniques. These samples and experiments will provide lasting reference -and inspiration- for your contemporary jewellery practice. \nIn addition\, we encourage you to produce a wearable item that incorporates hard and soft materials\, by the end of the weekend. \nMaterials\nThe course fee covers the cost of all non-precious materials. Brass\, copper and aluminium will be provided for experimentation\, and additional materials (acrylic\, lace\, fabrics\, threads\, buttons\, paper\, etc) for inclusions will also be provided. \nYou are encouraged to bring your own fabrics/papers/materials for combining into your designs and tests. \nTea\, coffee and light refreshments are provided throughout the weekend. \nBook Now\nCourse Tutor:  Emma McGilchrist. An additional tutor will assist if more than 7 students enrol for this course \nStudent numbers: 6 to 12 (with 2 tutors) \nCourse Dates: Saturday 16 to Sunday 17 March  2019 \nClass Times: 10.00am – 5pm \nCourse Fee: \nInternational/Full fee £350 \nUK residents £225 \n*Concessions £195 \n*If you are a UK residents and on a low wage\, or in receipt of tax credits or other benefit you qualify for the Flux concessionary rate.

SUMMARY:Experimental Enamelling Techniques for Jewellery (EL04)
DESCRIPTION:Introduction to Experimental Enamelling Techniques for Jewellery: Weekend Course.\n Book Now\nExplore a range of experimental enamelling techniques to give lasting colour and texture to your jewellery. \nWhat will I learn?\nThis is a dynamic 2 day course where you will have lots of scope to experiment with enamelling techniques on a range of materials. You will learn to sift powdered enamels onto copper sheet. You can try blending colours\, you can use stencils to give definition\, and you can draw through it to produce unique patterns and textures. Using pre-enamelled steel sheet you will then have the opportunity to use liquid vitreous enamels to paint or draw with colour. \nThe course draws focus to the process of experimentation and through hands-on experience you will gain sound knowledge of this complex but rewarding material. \nEnamelling is not difficult to learn\, but it is an unpredictable and therefore exciting process. This course will teach the basic technical aspects of the craft\, alongside the associated health and safety issues related to the use of enamel powders and liquids. We will first learn how to obtain a well-fused enamel surface\, and then through guided experimentation we will explore mark making techniques on copper and steel\, and on the second day we will develop a finished piece of jewellery using cold connection techniques. \nWhat will I produce?\nYou’ll produce a range of test pieces that reflect your personal interests\, style or aesthetic. We anticipate that your samples will provide lasting reference -and inspiration- for your future jewellery projects. \nOn the second day there will also be opportunity to devise suitable cold connections that will enable you to create a wearable item from your favourite test piece. \nMaterials \nThe course fee covers the cost of all materials. Metals available for your use include copper and enamelled steel. A selected palette of powder vitreous enamels will also be provided. \nYou may also bring your own precious materials to work with\,; in this instance please note we recommend using fine silver rather than sterling silver for enamelling\, due to the inherent processes and behaviours of the materials involved. \nCan I get my work hallmarked?\nWe are able to offer a hallmarking service for precious jewellery made at Flux – If you  would like to have your work hallmarked with the Flux Studios hallmark this can be arranged at cost price. \nTea\, coffee and light refreshments are provided throughout the weekend. \n Book Now\nCourse Tutor: Katherine Brunacci.

SUMMARY:Wax Carving for Casting Silver Jewellery (C32)
DESCRIPTION:Wax Carving for Casting Silver Jewellery (Evening\, Thu).\nBook Now\n– On this 10 week jewellery course you will learn a range of the wax carving techniques we commonly use to create models for casting in silver or other metals. \nWe’ll introduce you to the practical issues of measuring and marking\, and of cutting\, shaping and polishing wax objects\, ready for casting. We’ll also explain about the relative weights of materials you are likely to use. In the process you’ll learn how to reduce the weight without compromising the visual impact of your design. \nSize\, dimension and the choice of metal affects the weight – and cost – of your final outcome. Since objects cast from wax can be heavy (and thus\, expensive) we’ll also talk about plating processes for jewellery. For example\, choosing to cast in bronze and then gold plating your design is more cost effective than having your wax design cast in solid gold. \nYou will experience first hand the differences between types of waxes commonly used for making wax models\, through a series of set projects: \n\n Wax carving: design and carve a ring in wax\nDesign and make an item suitable for batch production\n\nWe can take your wax models to the casters\, and your results can be cast in bronze\, brass\, silver or gold. \n(NOTE We will work out the likely cost in various metals beforehand\, so you you’ll know what to expect to pay.  You will need to pay this fee for your model to be cast up.) \nWhat will I learn?\nBy the end of this course you will know how to cut\, carve\, manipulate and polish wax to realise your designs. You will be able to prepare your items for professional lost wax casting. You’ll also have a good understanding of the constraints of the processes and materials involved. You should also understand how to make a prototype in wax that can be reproduced to make multiples of the same design. Additionally your design skills will have improved. You will  have an understanding of how to create good wax designs for the casting process. \nBook Now\nCourse Tutor:Becky Dockree  and Katherine Brunacci \nMax student numbers: 12 students with 2 tutors.  \nCourse Dates: 17 January – 21 March 2019.  \nClass Times: Thursday evenings\, 6.15pm – 9.15pm \nCourse Fee:  Standard fee £260 / *Concessions £235 \n*f you are on a low wage\, or in receipt of tax credits or other benefit you qualify for the Flux concessionary rate.
