Treasure Box

We debuted the treasure box class at Harold Studio this month.  It was a huge hit!  The students were given a list of ingredients that they would use to create their piece of jewelry.  They were able to eliminate one of the ingredients and to add one ingredient of their choice.  The class lasted three weeks and started off with each participant creating their design.  The class concluded this past Tuesday and none of the students finished their design so we decided to add an additional week to future treasure box classes.  The students in this first class will be given a few studio hours to complete their projects.  Here are some pictures from all the fun!  Stay tuned for another post about their finished projects and their comments about the class!

Treasure Box supplies and rules!  The supplies will change with each class.  

A visual look at the supplies.

Louise is looking at a book for inspiration for her design.  I wonder what she will make!  

Patricia is drawing out her design!

Lynn's supplies are taking shape!

Louise's pendant is coming along nicely!! I love the modern design! 

Lousie is getting creative with her beads and silver!  What is she going to do with these!

Ah!  Now we see what Louise is thinking!  This looks really cool!

Patricia has been doing lots and lots and lots of soldering!  

Another view of Patricia's soldering pieces.  She is laminating brass and copper and putting the domed beads together to form hollow beads!  Don't forget to put at least 2 holes in your piece if you plan to make a hollow piece so it doesn't explode from the pressure.

Patricia also plans to put these two pieces together to form a bead.
