Joe's Wire Wrap Workshop
Club and Demonstration tables at Island Rockhounds Show @ Old Bethpage Restoration Village
Nassau Mineral Club covered two exhibit tables with mineral and
fossil specimens and beautiful samples of artistic handiwork crafted by its
members. Joe A., Leona K., Jim S., Rosemarie W., Diane A., Maria V. and June
M. were on hand to invite visitors to look over the wide range of things we
do at the club. Twenty people signed up to be notified about future
workshops or arrange a future visit to NMC – an encouraging sign. Leona made “teachable moment” handouts with mounted mineral
samples and other science related materials for middle school children. They
disappeared as quickly as she put them out! Joe brought a collection of
meteorites, amber, fossils and florescent stones which he used to capture
the curiosity of children and adults alike. Kids especially enjoyed
searching for insects millions of years old still stuck in amber. Their
parents were awed by the density of his stony iron samples from outer space
and his captivating accounts of meteorite discoveries.
