Rocket City Jewelers (RCJ) meets the 1st and 3rd Wednesdays from 6p – 9p and the 2nd and 4th Wednesdays from 2p – 5p. We meet in the RCJ room in the new HGMS Education Center. Due to concern about COVID-19, we must practice social distancing. Therefore, depending on how many people RSVP for a given class, we may need to spread the group into the Pebble Pups/GeoSciences room, or have 2 sessions on the same Wednesday, one from 2p-5p and the other from 6p-9p. Watch your text messages for updates.
We offer a non-chainmaille class the first Wednesday of the month, and a chainmaille class on the third Wednesday of the month. Other Wednesday nights are “Finish It” nights so you can work on individual projects. This is a great time to finish unfinished projects, work on individual projects, and catch up with classes you may have missed. 5th Wednesdays are TBD.
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.
