RCJ is open to all HGMS members 16 and older. All skill levels are welcome! No certification is required but experience using basic 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 Wire Woven Ribbon Bracelet class and haven’t made yours yet or picked up your kit, there’s 2 more opportunities: 22nd July, 2-5p and 29th July, 2-5p.
Meeting Location: RCJ Room (Rm 110) in the HGMS Ed Center, 7901 Bailey Cove Road SE, Huntsville.
Important: Don’t forget to enter your ID number at the security checkpoint.

Include your name, contact info, the class(es) you want, and the dates (if you know them) you plan to take them. Or you can sign up at RCJ meetings and monthly HGMS meetings.
