El Dorado County Mineral and Gem Society
holds an open LAPIDARY WORKSHOP two to three nights per month.
Participants in the lapidary workshops range from beginners to those of us who like to keep on learning and perfecting. We encourage participants to share their expertise and specialties.
Due to safety concerns, proper instruction
on equipment use is mandatory for everyone who participates. Lapidary
Procedures must be followed. All beginning participants must first take
a two-class Lapidary Certification Course, which covers lapidary
techniques and equipment safety and use.
Lapidary Schedule: Workshops are
scheduled on the 2nd and 4th Tuesdays of the month and usually on the
5th Tuesday when they occur. However, dates are subject to
change, especially during holiday seasons. Contact us for
additional information by
email
