Open Workshops

Workshops are scheduled on Tuesday and Thursday night from 7-9 pm.

Before you can attend an Open Workshop you must take the Intro to Cabbing Class taught by Anne Bair. Contact Anne via the web site contact form to schedule your classes. Two 3-hour sessions are required for shop certification on the lapidary machinery and discussion of shop safety procedures. 

No open workshop is held the 1st Tuesday due to the 1st Tuesday free workshop and the 2nd Tuesday when our monthly meeting is held at the Cobb Government Center.

Fee Schedule

• Large Saws - $2.50 per hour
• Trim Saws, cabbing machines, polishing wheel, faceting machines - $2.50 per hour

Please bring the exact amount or pay by personal check.

Check the current workshop schedule posted to the calendar and Latest News each month.

Workshop Guidelines

Each member is responsible for cleaning up the equipment that they use during the workshop.  All workshop lapidary water is dumped at the end of the session in the South Parking lot near the rocks and pine trees across from the entrance.  Please fill up all water containers so the shop is ready for the next person. 

Please do not leave food containers in the garbage can as it can attract ants.

Shop Needs

If you have any of the following items, please bring them to the workshop.

• Clean rags or towels
• Clean gallon containers in which water can be stored
• Newspapers
