    Hello folks. I'm going to be teaching a parent/child jewelry class
    this fall (as well as an adult class) at a Boston arts center. The
    environment is pretty laid back - focus on learning, art, and fun.
    This is my first teaching experience, and drawing on past lessons
    learned myself, I'm planning on a beginner's project of a
    sweat-soldered cut-out ring. So I'm not worried about the adult class
    too much, but am wondering if anyone has any innovative ideas for the
    parent/child project? I believe that the child must be at least 12
    years old. This is the first time the arts center has run a course
    like this, so don't have a pre-planned project. The course is
    advertised as "needing four hands to complete the project." (I didn't
    write the course description.) Does anyone have any innovative ideas
    for beginners? Or should I stick to the tried and true ring project
    to introduce sawing, filing, soldering and polishing? Thanks in
    advance for your wisdom and advice. 

Best,
Holly in Boston.
