Photos of our events taken by club members.
Phil Prather is a man of many talents and you may remember earlier this year Phil gave a presentation on Opals. This month Phil shared an “Introduction To Structured Wire: Making Your Rocks Wearable,”. His knowledge and skills are awesome and the samples he brought to our meeting were beautiful.

We had a good turnout and Phil kept our attention during his entire presentation. He also took some questions as well.
