Cruise through time and history in the Baltic
Region with internationally known bead artist, Nancy Cain.
Nancy has created a premier project, designed specifically
for this cruise. For two days, while at sea, create an
elegant 3-Dimensional hinged gem box, inspired by the
Russian onion dome cathedrals and the Renaissance Style
Faberge' Easter egg.
The
characteristic onion dome first appeared in Novgorod on the
Cathedral of Sancta Sophia, in the eleventh century. The
aesthetic feeling of the dome is finely expressed by a folk
saying, "glowing with fervor," when they speak about church
domes".
The
Renaissance Egg was the last one made for Czar Alexander III
to present to his wife, Marie Feodorovna in 1894. The eggs
always had a 'surprise' inside with the intention of
providing a *frisson of pleasure, the memory of which would
persist for the rest of that day. The surprise in the
original Renaissance Egg has been lost to time. To fill the
void and create a new 'frisson,' students will
receive a special gift. Instructions for a second project to
be completed later... a contemporary/old world style
bracelet ornamented with a 23mm Swarovski crystal triangle.
This bracelet nestles inside the gem box.
Create this
memorable keepsake gem box, while on a cruise of a lifetime.
*Frisson:
a sudden, passing sensation of
excitement: a shudder of emotion or thrill.
