RCJ is open to all HGMS members 16 and older. All skill levels are welcome! No certification is required, but experience using jewelry tools is a plus. We offer one class a month with 4 opportunities to finish the project.
Note: If you’re signed up for the June class (Bead, Chain, and Leather Bracelet), 2 more opportunities are available: June 18th, 6 – 9p, and June 25th, 2 – 5p. Remember to bring the silver button you made in April. If you’ve already completed the current project, you’re always welcome to join us and work on an unfinished project!
The 3rd Quarter classes are here! To sign up for a class, please email Theresa at rocketcityjewelers@gmail.com a month before class.
