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.   Please note that we will not meet on Wed, Oct 9th due to preparation for the Show.
