Whimsical Soldered Box
By Robin Dudley-Howes
Nov.23, 2013
Rainmaker Ranch
Newport Beach
11-3p
$75 plus $35 kit
Perfect timing before the holiday rush, Lisa Sarvak Heaney
has graciously invited Robin to teach this whimsical box at the Ranch! There will be a variety of techniques covered
as we construct our magical box from scratch.
Robin will demonstrate 2 different ways to cut glass using the Beetle
Bit and a glass scorer, symmetrical soldered box construction with box feet and
subtle but effective ways to colorize a black and white photo copy for the
inside. The kit will have pre-cut glass,
4 fancy box feet, rhinestone chain for front decoration, images and words,
fancy copper foil tape, wire, moss, glitter.
She will also bring extra materials to finish the project but asks that
you please bring the following supplies:
SUPPLIES:
~Soldering iron with a coiled stand and sponge (I recommend
Hakko or Weller with a ¼ or 3/16 inch
bevel chisel tip, no cone tips)
~Lead free solder
~fire proof surface
~scissors
~glue stick
~round nose pliers and wire cutters
~steel bench block or small anvil
~hemostats, cross lock tweezers (optional)
*******PLEASE NOTE:
If you bring your own image, avoid an actual photo as it will be
ruined. Bring only photo copies
(preferably on cardstock) and keep in mind that the box is only 5”x3” and the
width between the front and back is 2inches.
Your kit will have the angel pictured in the sample. Feel free to bring any other ephemera to add
to your box. The salt shaker on top of
the sample will not be included in your kit however I will have a hand full for
sale in addition to the kit fee.
All class fees are collected before class and are
non-refundable. Please check your
