  4. Once again we bring to you a fantastic free offer..... Design a pendant, make it in silver and gold, and keep it, for free!! If you live in Southwark and are 19 or over we invite you to join us for a fantastic Keum Boo course. Keum Boo is the ancient art of bonding 22ct gold foil to sterling silver. On this course you will cut, hammer, texture and file sterling silver to make your own pendant, and then apply keum boo to parts to create a beautiful lustrous effect. You can also create black and gold contrast by patinating the silver. It's this weekend 10-5 sat and sun - you need to be able to do both days; if you like what you make you can give a small donation towards the materials - you get to keep it either way. Here's a lnk to more information, and pics http://fluxjewelleryschool.com/event/keum-boo-jewellery-kb04/ Please email me directly if you want to come along [email protected]

  7. Hui all, We have another totally free family workshop on offer this Saturday afternoon. There are still a few places left for Southwark residents. Please email me if you fancy coming along This is an exciting opportunity for you and your child to make fabulous objects in metal using the cuttlefish casting technique. Design a pendant, medal or decoration. Carve it into cuttlefish. Melt your pewter and pour it into the cuttlefish mould. Remove it. Drill and polish it. Wear it! Love it! Find out more here: http://fluxjewelleryschool.com/event/family-workshop-cuttlefish-casting-with-pewter-fp2/ Read about previous courses here http://fluxjewelleryschool.com/2014/12/flux-family-workshop-fun-making-jewellery/ More about our Family Workshops at Flux At Flux Studios we provide a supportive environment where families / children and their carers can actively engage with creative and craft processes in the professional environment of an artist studio. The workshops also aim to promote family cohesion by providing children and adults with new and challenging experiences which they negotiate together, while also giving opportunity to enjoy the creative process. Projects are tailored to suit children and adults having no prior experience, with initial focus on free experimentation with material and technique. Students then put their newfound experiences into producing a final piece of jewellery or sculpture.
