Yuki 's News
We say a warm à bientøt to Yuki Sasakura Assiter, who moves to her new studio this month.
Yuki has been with Flux Studios since we began way back in 2008.
Steadily building on her collections over these years Yuki's distinctive style has gained a wide and appreciative audience and we are delighted to see her gain the popularity she deserves. Her new studio, closer to home, will give her those vital extra hours to continue to produce exciting new work.
Yuki has also been a regular member of our teaching team here at Flux and from Yuki's classes many people have gained valuable insights into theprinciplesof jewellery making.
We'll all miss Yuki massively in our day-to day activities here at Flux, but we look ahead to new projects together in the future.
