I, too, back in the 1960's was loaned a copy of Oppi's book by a sculptor friend. I kept the book for a full year, learning all I could from it during that interval of time. It formed a strong foundation for my later learning experiences and in so doing, exposed my mind to esoteric techniques like bidri inlay. With that as part of my educational foundation I was able to build a profession that continues to this time 48 years later.

Very few Jewelry artist/teachers have influenced our craft so deeply as Oppi. I am indeed berieved to know that he has left this "Land of the Living".
