About us
We’re a not-for-profit, family-friendly club where creativity, curiosity, and community come together. Whether you’re interested in lapidary (that’s gem and mineral cutting), faceting, silversmithing, or painting, we offer hands-on workshops for all skill levels—perfect for anyone keen to learn something new or build on a hobby.
We’re often described as one big, welcoming family, and that’s exactly how we like it. Our focus is on learning, sharing, and having fun while exploring the fascinating world of gems and minerals.
Everyone is welcome here—no matter your background or experience. If you’re looking for a supportive, inclusive space to get creative and meet like-minded people, we’d love to have you join us!
