Enamel techniques – Bringing new dimension to your jewellery

Author Date

Champleve, Cloisonne, Plique a jour, Guilloche, Basse Taille, Sgraffito – there are many ways to apply enamel, and each is an exacting process that takes years to master. But the road to glory must start somewhere… and we believe those first steps should be fun and rewarding…

Look at these fabulous pewter pendants / medals / objects made by children and their adults at Flux Studios this weekend!

We had an invasion of robot – spacemen whose inspiration came perhaps through cloudy skies on shooting stars.

Thankfully our own earth based ghoulies in the form of skulls, skeletons, spiders and night birds were at the ready to defend us!

Roll Up! Free (and almost free) jewellery courses for Southwark

Author Date

Southwark Adult Learning Services are assisting us to run these jewellery courses for local residents, and the aim is to reach as wide an audience as possible.
Family workshops aim to get adults and children working creatively together, and are free to Southwark residents. They are great fun!

We also run weekend (2 day) workshops and weekday courses (3 days) for adults, focusing on a range of jewellery making techniques, and again thanks to the SALS support our courses for residents cost as little as £40 for 2 days, including lunch and materials – (pewter, copper and silver)

Fab family workshop fun at Flux

Author Date

I’m endlessly surprised by how much is achieved by the participants – complete beginners, young and old – in such a short time, and by the range and quality of creativity that unfolds in those 3 hours…..Elsewhere, hammers and punches were used to make interesting textures, and beautiful patterns were pressed using the rolling mill. A particular favourite for me was Laura’s landscape.. she worked out a superb solution for a plinth.

Are you ready for something new?

Why not treat yourself to a course here at Flux Studios! Whether you’re new to jewellery making or if you fancy improving skills and developing new techniques, you can be sure of the best possible tuition to meet your needs. Techniques we will be exploring this term include wax carving (for casting), making hollow forms, and creative approaches to joining elements together using links and linkages. At beginners level soldering will also be a focus for skills development.
