Open Day was held on the 26th and 27th August 2008 at the Enfield Community Centre. In the foreground the member is demonstrating how to cut spheres, then to his left is a silver making demonstration, and talc carving. In the background can be seen a display of faceting. Some of the members gain over 99% for their faceting work and they like to pass the skills on to new members. Others in the group are creating cabuchons. Around the walls can be seen the stalls of the Gem and Mineral Dealers where you can purchase items from uncut and unpolished rocks to finished items of jewellery.
The right hand photo shows some of the members' work with examples of of talc carving eg the pelican; a polished slab, a dunny made from fossilised wood, and a tiara made of faceted quartz linked together with tourmaline sticks. |
