Jeff and I were in the same PE swim class at the Plunge swimming pool near downtown Hayward. While the Coach was trying to guide us in developing our skills on the high dive, Jeff had his own approach. He would run full blast and leap in the air. Rather than dive with precision and form, Jeff would launch himself into the air as though flung like a ragdoll, all akimbo and flailing until Sploosh! he landed in the pool. Of course, we always watched to see what he would do next...
Happy Trails Jeff!

Really nice, Jack and thanks for sharing.
Howdy Timothy, Thanks for your kind comments. I knew since Hayward High that wanted to work in metal. Finally came true! Yay! This is a teapot that I made for Mom when I was teaching in S Korea. We had to alloy and make our own sheet metal, solder, etc. See you soon,
Jack

In this two day workshop, students were divided into two groups. Group A spent the day with Marilyn experimenting with non-traditional color exploration. Group B spent the first day with Jack as he demonstrated anticlastic and synclastic forming for jewelry. On day two, the groups will switched places and spent the day with the other da Silva. Marilyn and Jack have given this workshop across the country. It allows each participant to gain information on both techniques during the two days.
