WHO JOINS A LAPIDARY CLUB
Well, we have members from many walks of life and all ages. Professionals, stay at home mothers, young couples and singles, families with children and retirees. All, though, have the desire to make something using the skills we teach. Some of the members go on to make a living out of what they learn, but most are content to make beautiful pieces for family and friends.
DO YOU NEED TOOLS OR OTHER EQUIPMENT
No, all the tools and equipment you require, to work in the club house, are supplied. Of course as you progress you may wish to purchase some of your own equipment that is entirely up to you. We also stock a limited supply of the material you need to work with, gemstone rough, silver etc. But material you require can be purchased at a Gem Show, off other members, from a retail outlet or by finding it yourself on a field trip. You require some equipment if you are going on a field trip, but please ask, because initially some spare equipment can probably be sourced.
