any teachers around the Rhode Island area?

Hi, I just ordered an artisan w/ co2 pedal control and would like to recieve some sort of formal teaching about the basics of engraving. I have ordered some books and a dvd, as well as the needed equipment to get started. Any help in finding someone would be very helpful.

Do you know of any engravers in Mass or New Hampshire,
professional or hobbyists? I'd like to see what people are doing
and how to start out as I am new to this and interested.

If you are having a hard time finding people check out steves vids of him doing the SR johnson knife and practice plate. He also has a video page of how to get started with your airgraver. Best thing to do with anything you start or learn is to take your time.
