1st Grade Class Chess Set
We made this set for a private school's charity auction in California. The project was intended to be "interactive" with the children in the 1st grade class. I came up with the idea to give each student a survey to fill out that had them fill in their name, favorite color, hair, eyes, etc. We then received the surveys and created wooden children painted to look like each child. The pieces stood on painted wood bases that had engraved individual names. We then used our newest prototype board design made from colored glassed inlayed with wood bottom and sides. It came with a box designed to match the school logo and name to carry the chess pieces. It was a very creative project!

May 20, 2014I would DEFINITELY work with the gals from Queen Squared again on a future project! They created a custom chess game fashioned to look like the kids in my child's classroom (same eye color, hair color etc)...this was one of the most popular items sold at the school auction. The king/queens etc..were faculty members (principal, vice principal, and teachers) The board turned out AMAZING and everyone thought the concept and craftsmanship were very cool and creative!

Apr 6, 2014Very nice people, the first board I received was not in good shape due to the packaging procedure from FedEx. They completed made a new board and shipped the new board free of charge. Great custom chess board! Thank you
