State of Flux

Someone posted some gorgeous china on their FB page and I knew I had to hunt it down and see what it was.

From their website:

Flux was established in 2010 by Staffordshire University. Combining a proud tradition with cutting edge design, craftsmanship and quality manufacturing. A collection of talented designers have come together to position the flux brand at the forefront of the ceramics industry. With its distinctive, eclectic designs, flux exudes a quintessential Englishness which is synonymous with Staffordshire.

Many of the best potteries in England were in Staffordshire, specifically in Stoke-on-Trent, and these days, little of the original industry remains. So it’s great to see a college trying to revive this craft.

Many of the pieces have gold or platinum details, and there are mugs, cups and saucers, cereal bowls, dinner plates, and much more in each design.

Unfortunately, their website is a bit difficult to navigate, and they’re out of much of their stock, but they’ve done a good job on their designs.

I like seeing the revival of dying arts, and the Flux range is a good example of this.

Take a look at their website, and see what you think.

Let me know!
