WB 20 & 21 Field Trip Goldsmith & Meditation WS

Our gift from the goldsmith.This mold was to make a Pittsburgh charm.
WB 21~Meditation mini-booklet. They did a Bible verse study which is what the Med.WS is all about.I love when they do this because it is a skill I want them to have when they are adults.




Instead of doing a worksheet we made a mini-booklet since we are making a lapbook for Wisdom Booklet 21.
We also broke open another Geode today.This was a much better example then the one we cracked opened last week.We also discussed the difference between crystals minerals, & rocks.

Then we went on a field trip to International Jewelry Designs.Jeffrey Kuiros a Master Goldsmith taught us about diamonds & how a goldsmith makes custom pieces.He also gave us a mold sample of a charm that has the city of Pittsburgh on it.We enjoyed learning.One of the workers was a retired school teacher so she also explained some things and was a great help.



Here are samples of coins he made for the Renaissance Fair that is here in Pittsburgh annually.













A mold he made.





































The store mascot who we met at the jewelry store.

We had a great day now off to church for messy night.
