Open Sessions

Practice your lapidary skills and enjoy time in the shop!

Open Sessions provide an opportunity for Society members to access our fully equipped Lapidary Shop, where they can cut, shape, and polish their own lapidary and jewelry projects at their own pace. After completing the Introductory to Cabochon Making Class, members are eligible to participate in Open Sessions to further practice and improve their skills. Our volunteer instructors will be available to offer guidance and assistance, making it a great opportunity for both beginners and experienced lapidarists to work on their projects in a supportive environment.
