Hi N,

If you are interested to learn how to engrave for yourself, we have a weekend course coming up that will introduce you to these skills... It will take some practice before you would be skilled enough to engrave your precious knives, but you might find it satisfying enough to want to perfect the technique and have the confidence to go for it. We have a limited number of free places available for local people...


We have a free weekend opportunity for you to come and explore the art of hand engraving, on 24/25 March, thanks to the generous support of Southwark Adult Learning services.


Do you like to draw? are you interested in calligraphy?

Join us for a 2 day jewellery course to learn the ancient art of decorative hand engraving on metal.

It's a dying art, and if you have an aptitude for it there's a great opportunity for a rewarding and lucrative career in it too! We will teach you how to sharpen and prepare your tools, and how to cut lines and texture the surface of metal using these tools. Working on copper for the course, you will then build confidence to be able to hand engrave on more precious metals in your own time.

This is a weekend course, running Saturday 24 March and Sunday 25 March10-5pm. You will need to attend both days.


Eligibility for a free place:

You must live in Southwark.

You must be 19+ (no upper age limit :)

You must have been living in the UK for at least 3 years, and not be in full time education

You must be able to attend both Saturday and Sunday.

This must be your first course at Flux since September 2017


Fancy joining us?

please message me for more course details and info on how to book.

    • It's the "due to commercial reasons" line again that is vexing. Last year it seemed, although there was a similar level of objection, that the reasons were commercial - Gala didn't appear entirely prepared to run 3 more events, or more likely didn't have sufficient interest from other promoters / organisers who could 'sub-let' the site as with Brockwell Park (I believe?). This year they appeared more organised, had another year to plan & prepare, to the extent they actually had names for two of the three new events which indicated to me that they had third party promoters / organisers in place.  So yes, it does make you wonder whether the repeated level of objection, combined with the impending elections, led to the council 'advising' that maybe they shelve it again? I'm afraid I can't see the whole extension application just being a ruse to guarantee permission for the 'regular' event. Gala are a commercial venture with ambition - every festival's business plan is to expand, expand, expand, year on year on year. Gala won't give up until they have taken over the whole park for a Summer of Raves, and the mysterious owners are on their yachts counting their ££££
    • Thanks for that. Maybe forthcoming elections have stymied the 7 day request? If Labour get back in, do we think GALA will try with greater success in 2027?
    • Better late than never, same obscure reason as previously for not going ahead with the extended plan... "Due to commercial reasons, the event organisers have withdrawn their application to hold a 7- day event over two weekends. The application has been revised to request the use of Peckham Rye Park to hold a 4-day event over one bank holiday weekend with the following schedule: • Onsite: Monday 11 May 2026 • GALA: Friday 22 – Sunday 24 May • On the Rye Festival: BH Monday 25 May • Off-site Sunday 31 May 2026 This is the same event programme that was delivered in 2025."  GALA 2026 consultation findings report 1519.pdf
