Jesa Marshall
After completing a Foundation Diploma at Bournemouth & Poole College of Art & Design Jesa gained an Honors Degree in History of Art and Design at Winchester College of Art. Although she loved the world of art history Jesa was frustrated by the lack of hands on creativity and began to make jewellery. She went on to study Precious Jewellery at Portsmouth University and finally at the Sir John Cass dept. at London Guildhall University.
Jesa’s love for dark fairytales and all things weird and wonderful is manifested in her jewellery collections which incorporate tiny sculptures of birds, animals, plants and objects into wearable stories. Jesa has been working as a professional jewellery designer for over 15 years and has been teaching and running Flux ‘n’ Flame alongside her husband Al since 2003.
Jesa’s award winning work can be seen in shops, galleries and at shows throughout the UK and abroad as well as on her website.
Jesa works to commission as well as producing work for galleries & exhibitions.
She is also
a member of the British Jewellers Association (BJA) and the Association
of contemporary Jewellery ( ACJ ).
Evermore is a dark place in which to indulge in beauty and be amazed at the strange and fascinating objects that find their way there.
Al Marshall
Al has over 20 years experience of working with all types of metal from
steel and aluminium to silver & gold. A fascination for sculptural
forms from cars, motorcycles and hotrods to architecture and sculpture
has led him to adapt his skills to design and create jewellery inspired
by these themes, often strong and simplistic in form with accents of texture
or colour.
Being highly skilled in metal forming / forging techniques Al loves the challenge of creating three dimensional forms. He always focuses on the aesthetics of each individual piece making sure it works in combination with it’s usability and comfort.
Al has been working as a professional jewellery designer for over 12 years and has been teaching and running Flux ‘n’ Flame alongside his wife Jesa since 2003.
Al also relishes his position as creative director within Flux ‘n’ Flame in addition to Al and Jesa’s most recent joint venture ‘Evermore’, a collaboration of twisted imaginations through which new collections of jewellery and other oddities are created.
The ‘Evermore’ shop can be found alongside Flux ‘n’ Flame in Dorset as well as online where you can buy jewellery from Jesa and Al as well as other fabulous creations from furniture to photographs….
In 2010 Al launched his own Jewellery Brand called 'Ruby & Al' which is a wonderfully evocative range of designs with its heart lying in the 50’s passion for custom cars and hot rod racing!
To see some of the things he does when he's not making jewellery have a look at Al's other work.
Al works to commission as well as producing work for galleries shops & exhibitions. He is also a member of the Association of contemporary Jewellery ( ACJ ).
Heidi Dawson
After studying Design Technology and Art at A Level Heidi went to Bournemouth Arts Institute to complete a Foundation Diploma. Her love of creating beautiful three dimensional objects took hold so she specialised in 3D Design before heading to University.
Heidi successfully studied for a B.Ed Hons in Design and Technology and became a secondary school teacher. She has been teaching Resistant Materials and Graphics at Corfe-Hills School since 2006.
Heidi expanded her skills and knowledge even more and started making jewellery as a student at Flux 'n' Flame in 2009 and joined the team in 2011 to teach the ever popular one day courses.
Congratulations to Heidi and Dave on their new baby girl Ella Mae Dawson born on the 16/11/12 at 22.38 weighing 6lb 3oz
