Flux Metal Arts welcomes a new season of jewelry and metalworking with special guests to inspire and feed the creative spirit.

New Jersey artist Liza Nechamkin returns March 27 – 29 for her three day Chasing and Repousse’ Intensive. During this workshop, students will gain a working knowledge of chasing and repousse’ through detailed demonstrations, experimentation and different assignments. This class will equip students to further explore the technique and use it to fluidly express their own aesthetics.

From Santiago, Chile we welcome visiting artist Mauricio Cristóbal Cortés Fuentes.Mauricio specializes in silver Filigree work, made with tiny beads or twisted threads in combination with decorative objects, like rings and earrings, arranged in artistic motifs. Both a printmaker and goldsmith, Mauriciois a resident artist this Spring at Zygote Press. We are excited to partner with Zygote and offer this Filigree workshop April 25 – 26.

We also look forward to the return of Boston, Mass. artist and author Karen Christians, who offers a Soldering Intensive. May 29. Go beyond the basics of soldering in this fast paced workshop, practice “fussy fits,” experience several different styles of soldering, and learn a wealth of tips and tricks to solve complex soldering challenges. Then May 30 – 31, add amazing color to your work with Resin Inlay. Create jewelry based on cloisonné techniques using epoxy resin, adding wood, bone, paint pigments, sand, spices and more.
