EDUCATION We're starting off the year with two exciting education opportunities. Be sure to check them out! COPPER ENAMELING - Copper Enameling is a wonderful artistic skill that many rockhounds enjoy as a complement to their rock skills or just for its own sake. Member Joe Yarborough teaches this fascinating class on Tuesdays at 8:30 am. to lunch at the Presbyterian Church at 1965 Colfax (at Salvio). This class is Free!!! However, you will need to purchase copper items to enamel--the costs start at just $1. You don't need a reservation, just show up! GOING ON A FIELD TRIP - For many of us, half the fun of our mineral and gem hobby is finding specimens ourselves. Dick Pankey will be teaching a class on everything you ever wanted to know about a field trip and didn't know who to ask. His class will cover: Types of field trips; what to bring with you in terms of tools and other supplies; Field trip safety; Responsibility and etiquette, and any questions you have! This class will be at Dick and Betty Pankey's home at 4310 Kingsly Drive in Pittsburg on April 14 and will go from 9 am to noon.He can accommodate up to 25 people. Please sign up at the Society meetings or call Dick at 925.439.7509 or email at dickpankey@juno.com. We also have a soapstone carving class tentatively set for April 21. More on this at the Feb. meeting. Donna Albrecht Education Chair © 2007-2011
