Pursue individual lapidary and jewelry-making projects under the supervision of our shop stewards. The workshop space is divided between two buildings. Our garage holds slab saws and trim saws for cutting rocks to size for lapidary work. And within the clubhouse, the kitchen and laundry rooms have been converted to hold grinding and polishing units to craft cabs. The shop also has a flat lap equipped with an array of magnetic diamond discs for finishing and polishing larger flat items. Members must be certified by a shop steward in order to use the equipment. A request for certification can be found in the Member Area of the website.
