Flux - Fair Luxury

I am really looking forward to attending and participating in Flux - the Fair Luxury Conference in London.

Flux: Redefining Luxury: Inspiring responsible practice in the jewellery industry.

• What : UK’s first conference-style event dedicated to debating and investigating issues surrounding responsible sourcing and best practice within today’s jewellery industry.   

• WHERE: The Goldsmiths' Centre
• WHEN: 9.30am – 5pm Tuesday 19 April 2016    

This one-day event offers all in attendance the opportunity to further understand what is meant by ‘responsible practice’ and discuss the need for transparency within the prestigious setting of London’s Goldsmiths’ Centre. 

Pioneering figures from across the worlds of fashion and jewellery will come together in offering the rare chance to share in their experience.

• Hear first-hand from industry leaders currently questioning the way we approach provenance and sustainability by examining the journey between original source and end consumer.
• Key note speakers include:
• Lina Villa - Executive Director Alliance of Responsible Mining (ARM)
• Jack Cunningham - Group Sustainability Manager Gemfields
• Orsola de Castro – Co-founder of Fashion Revolution

Delegates are invited to participate in workshops covering key topics. I will be on a workshop panel addressing the challenges of responsible sourcing with Peter Crump, Owner of Vipa Designs Ltd and Sam Rose, Owner of September Rose Jewellery. 

Organising an event like this takes a lot of time, energy and commitment. The great news for the team who are organising Flux is that the event is fully booked - it has sold out!

We are very pleased that Elizabeth Shaw, a Senior Lecturer at Queensland College of Art, will be part of our event next month. Elizabeth exhibits regularly and also contributes to academic research with a focus on ethical practice and the social and cultural values and meanings associated with objects. She is an international member of the advisory board for Ethical Metalsmiths and the inaugural chair of the Ethical Metalsmiths Education Committee.
Elizabeth initiated and chaired Green Symposiums in 2009 and 2010 to raise awareness of ecological, environmental and ethical concerns in jewellery studio practices and will be sharing her experience in one of our workshops at the Fair Luxury conference.
