So Summer’s
here then! Flowers are out, festivals season has begun and its raining
and cold!! Well – we did have a glimpse of summer in April though
didn’t we!
Flux ’n’ Flame has been a hive of creative activity so far
this year – with the weekly classes buzzing and the weekend courses
filling up for the year we think everyone has got that sparkly making
vibe!! We are always updating the Flux ‘n’ Flame facebook
page with new jewellery created on the courses and there are some absolutely
fantastic pieces being made!!
In May we hosted ‘Debut 3’ – and it was amazing!!
We had so many visitors over the course of the weekend with lots of
jewellery sold and lots of commissions taken! Everyone worked really
hard to make it a fantastic weekend…so much fun! Roll on next
year!!!
We have all sorts of new and exciting courses happening later this year
- We have managed to persuade Clare Johns to come and teach her resin
course with us in November which should be amazing – a great way
to add a bit of colour to your silver.
Liz Guilmant- Cush is returning with 1 and 2 day Lamp-work bead making
courses, and Sally is back after her maternity leave and is running
her ever popular beginners enamelling courses too!!
Our 1 day traditional jewellery courses have been slightly re-structured
and are being taken by Heidi Dawson..the latest member of the Flux ‘n’
Flame team! We are now aiming the 1 day courses primarily at complete
beginners, to give them a taste of our world!!!!
We may also have some more surprises in the way of courses later this
year….watch this space!!
Al has been busily building benches and workshops for people and has
