2011 review – a year at Flux
There is much for me to be thankful for, everything to be pleased about…
And here, 3 years after its inception, is a shining example of Flux Studios at its best, achieving all its objectives:
Flux students are inspired to learn more and explore the possibilities of becoming professionals, and become members…
Graduates become members to develop collections and business skills to promote and sell their work….
Members are supported to explore their market through open studios and exhibitions…
Members are given opportunities to develop teaching skills…
Members are challenged to speak about their work through interactions with students…
Students are surrounded by a massive creative community…
Members support each other by sharing workshop skills, business skills and connections…
Members become successful and fly away to set up their own studio…
But always, I hope, they remain Fluxy at heart!
ACJ reviews Elemental Jewellery
“Vicky Forrester has succeeded in producing a book that is both technically rich and warmly accessible” says Melanie Pike..” if your introduction to jewellery has been of a mostly practical nature then Elemental Jewellery will be an invaluable companion in supporting the development of your own unique creative voice”
Use time well
I find television very educational. Every time someone switches it on I go into another room & read a good book.” – Groucho Marx. He would join our jewellery courses at Flux – if only he had mastered time!
