    Revere Gets Gold Fever Second Annual Field Trip to the Gold Country 

    Alan Revere took his Summer Jewelry Technician Intensive class on
    the second annual field trip to the Gold Country to give his students
    an appreciation of the history behind the materials they work with as
    goldsmiths.   The class caravan departed San Francisco and headed
    for the hills for an overnight trip to explore the history of gold
    mining. The first stop was the Sutter Gold Mine, where the students
    donned hard hats before going underground into the belly of the mine.
    In the mine, students learned about historical mining techniques and
    viewed quartz veins from which gold is mined.  The class spent the
    night at the historic National Hotel, the oldest hotel in California.
     The next day was spent panning for gold on the Mokelumne River. 
    Hopes were high as the panning technique was demonstrated by a
    seasoned prospector.  All the students came away from the trip much
    richer; most students found sizable nuggets, but everyone came away
    with knowledge of the history behind the materials used in class. 

    The Jewelry Technician Intensive program provides total immersion as
    preparation for a career in jewelry.  Participants also meet local
    jewelry manufacturers, bench workers, designers and attend related
    field trips. The Intensive=92s full time format includes 40 hours per
    week in the studio.  Graduates earn the Academy=92s Jewelry Technician
    Diploma as well as preparation for certification as a JA=AE Bench
    Jeweler Technician=99.  The next JTI program is scheduled October 16 t=
o
    December 12, 2002.
