    All-Day Opal Carving Workshop 

    Derek Levin began carving hard woods 35 years ago.  But no matter
    how intricate the carving, wood just stayed wood.  Fifteen years ago
    Derek  discovered and began carving Opal. "I've carved many kinds of 
    stone, but the color, sensuality and complexity of opal keeps
    challenging me," he says. "An opal makes its own statement, so the
    carver must listen to the stone."  Aside from carving Derek has
    taught  college English and has been writing articles for the
    Lapidary Journal  for 6 years.

    I hope that you can find your way to one of these or both. May I
    humbly point out that I am a bit overbooked on Monday the 7th so if
    you wanted to come talk with me, Wednesday the 3rd through Sunday
    the 6th will find me at my Booth at Manning House. Monday will find
    me at the opal carving workshop. Contact me at
    stoneage AT vermontel.net for more info on the workshop. 

I look forward to meeting many of you.
