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.
We start a new project in July – LME #7 Prongs! (See schedule below.) Remember to read Judy’s June 23 email about this class. Note: July has a 5th Wednesday. 5th Wednesdays are always from 2 – 5p. As always, if you’re not taking the current class, you’re welcome to join us and work on individual projects.
