No project class in October because of the HGMS Gem, Jewelry, and Mineral Show.
November 2024 Class Preview: Spinner Rings
We have had several requests to have a Spinner Ring class. The last time we made this project we were meeting in the Senior Center. We will be making the ring in 20 gauge silver, so the class fee is TBD and will be determined by the price of silver when we order the supplies. The picture in this article is some of our first class samples from way back. (We will have a new class samples photos in the next newsletter.) The class dates will probably be 5p – 9p on Thursday, November 7th and Monday, November 11th. Check the October newsletter for date confirmation.
How to Sign Up for Classes:
The sign-up sheet will be available on Monday and Thursday night classes and at the HGMS meeting. You can also sign up starting October 7th by sending email to HGMS@wildivystudio.com.
If you sign up for a class and cannot attend, please be considerate and notify the instructors as soon as possible so that if someone is on the wait list they can attend in your place.
