Jewellery School offers a fun and stimulating, creative and professional

Vicky Forrester in 2008 with the desire to support all elements of the jewellery
industry. The intention was to create a home to both aspiring professionals and
the interested public, where each could thrive. Since these early beginnings,
Flux Studios has evolved into a busy, creative jewellery hub. We have become a
global destination where people come to share ideas and jewellery skills with
open enthusiasm. About Vicky Forrester Vicky Forrester is a designer – maker of
contemporary bespoke jewellery. Inspired by organic structures, Vicky combines
the inherent qualities of her materials with innovative techniques, to produce
wearable, precious forms that delight the senses. She makes her jewellery here
at Flux Studios, London. Vicky set up Flux Jewellery School to share the skills
and knowledge she has gained though her own 30-year career as a jeweller and
teacher. In 2010 Vicky was commissioned to write ‘Elemental Jewellery’, an
inspirational look at jewellery making. The book includes twenty projects that
aim to introduce new approaches to making jewellery, while also exploring ways
to develop a free spirited design methodology.
