Spring/Summer 2013
Unseasonal weather just can't stop us - Some days you have to create your own sunshine and here at Flux Studios we've conspired to bring to you a range of fantastic and inspirational jewellery courses to fill your time!
Our new courses spring into action on 16 April, and we have some great short courses too...
Here's a taste of April's offerings; follow the links to our newly re-designed website to book your places now.
We have jewellery courses for beginners, intermediate and advanced students: our 12 week courses focus on a new theme each term. Learn how to make hollow forms, find new ways to create movement in your jewellery using linkages, rivets and screws, or work with thermochromic materials to make mood jewellery!
If you are looking for weekend or intensive courses check out our Short Course programme. We’re working with Southwark again this year, so if you live in this borough expect to get a great deal! |
