Rocket City Jewelers (RCJ) meets every Wednesday evening from 6p.m – 9p.m. in the Paint Room (next to the Lapidary Shop) at the Senior Center.
We offer a class the first Wednesday of the month (with a second class occasionally offered on the third Wednesday in a 5-week month). Other Wednesday nights are open so you can work on individual projects. This is a great time to share tips with other members and to catch up on classes you may have missed.
For more information, to sign up for a class, or to let us know if you missed a class, please send email to hsvgems@gmail.com. Class signups are also available at the regular HGMS monthly meetings and the RCJ Wednesday night meetings.
