OPALS I

INSTRUCTOR: SARAH LEE BOYCE

 

Sarah Lee has been teaching since the early 1990’s. She teaches for the Gem and Mineral Club and at her home outside of Charlotte, NC and at William Holland where she teaches a structured fourteen-step method for opal cutting, which she created because the opal rough can be very unforgiving, and the play of color needs to be released very slowly. In class the students will receive a kit containing a variety of 8 opals, as well as triplet and doublet material. The class fee covers the 10-piece kit, handouts, and miscellaneous supplies.

Boyce, Sarah Lee

Sarah Lee has been teaching Opals I and II since the early 1990's. She teaches at William Holland and from her home studio in Charlotte, North Carolina. Sarah Lee teaches a structured 14-step method for Opal Cutting, that she developed herself, because the Opal rough can be very unforgiving, and the play of colors needs to be released slowly. Her 14-Step Method has been proven to get the best colors from opals. Sarah Lee has studied and mined Opals from Australia, Mexico, Canada, and the US. She is a true Rockhound and is also skilled in other areas such as faceting, cabochons, wire, casting, and silversmithing. Sarah Lee has been teaching Opals at William Holland for more than 25 years and is a board member.
