Hello everyone,

    In making your Tucson plans don't forget to check out the free,
    public, talks, demonstrations and seminars at the Electric Park
    Learning Center. 

    For a venture that's only in its second year we have a gratifyingly
    high power lineup of speakers and presenters. 

    We have the Mayor of Tucson coming in to facet cut a stone; we have
    Fred Ward presenting his new book on phenomenal gems; we have Colin
    Winter, one of the most respected and senior figures in British
    gemmology, giving a presentation on spectroscopy; we have Roger Dery,
    past winner of the AGTA cutting award, talking about the real world
    of commercial, non-hobby, professional gem cutting; Brad Simon
    introduces a new internet-based jewelry television channel; award
    winning cutter Tyler Allen will give a spine-tingling account of his
    greenhorn's venture into the turbulent and dangerous world of gem
    buying in Madagascar. Not surprisingly, *Orchid* is well represented,
    with Gerry Lewy doing two sessions on diamond setting with the graver
    and Wayne Emery doing presentations on gem and jewelry photography.
    He's also by the way doing another on the USB microscope which was
    recently mentioned here on Orchid - that's the intriguing little
    camera-cum-microscope that plugs directly into the computer. 

    Check out the program at www.electricparklearningcenter.com 

    All presentations are one hour or less in duration; all are open to
    the general public; all are free. Presentation times are at 11 am,
    1:30pm and 3:30 pm each day from February 2nd to 16th. 

    You'll see there are still some open slots in the program in the
    second week. If anyone on the list would like to give a presentation
    - on *any* topic or technique that relates to jewelry and gems, do
    please email me off list. 

Cheers - see you at the Learning Center!
