OPALS II

INSTRUCTOR: JEFF HUNTER

 

Jeff Hunter is offering an advanced class in opals in which students will work with their own stash of opals, should they have them. However, if a student doesn’t have their own opals, they will be available in class. Also, in this class students will assemble doublets & triplets. Other projects will be learning to carve Boulder Opal which should be challenging and fun. Another project will be for students to choose from a nutshell, seashell, or Ammonite to learn the process of how to inlay opals.

Hunter, Jeff

Jeff Hunter has been a lapidarist for over a 15 years. Early in his career he was introduced to boulder opal and was bitten by the opal bug. Once bitten he decided to devote his lapidary career to the study and cutting of boulder opals. A few years ago he had the opportunity to visit and stay at a boulder opal mine in Koroit. Jeff came to the William Holland School to expand his knowledge and skills in cutting and polishing opals from around the world. He know shares his knowledge and skills with others by teaching opals here at the William Holland School of Lapidary Arts.
