It has been a busy couple weeks at Harold Studio! We have updated the process for open studio.  We would be so appreciative if everyone coming in for open studio, including part time and full time renters, would please sign in to the blue sparkly book that will be on top of the water cooler!  If you are a part time or full time renter, just write pt or ft under the hours.  We want to track when the studio is being used and how busy it is during certain times.  Thanks in advance for your help! We would like to offer our condolence to Ginger in Friday's Jewelry 1 class for the loss of her father.  We are sending our love to you and your family in this difficult time. Are you a fan of our Facebook page?  If not, please check it out.  We post often (but not too often) pictures of jewelry made in the studio and jewelry articles and tips.  We would love it too if you would share great tips you have come across along the way.

Here are some jewelry pieces that have been made at Harold Studio in the last week. Rebekah made this necklace initially thinking she would enamel the colors, but she decided to go with a patina instead. Tresha finished up her Jewelry II tube set earrings in record time. And she ended up making a pendant to go along with them! Alex etched the State of Arizona and country of Azerbaijan.  Laura etched some cute sayings into metal as well... I can't wait to see what these ladies turn their pieces into! Brittany made a lovely cabochon ring. Laura made some more jewelry for her new etsy store and to sell at the Butterfly Wonderland shop. Michelle made some more Jewelry for Bunky Botique , because everything else she had there sold out. I'm not surprised! I hope everyone has a wonderful Monday and Labor Day!...
