Our Mission 

is to promote, educate and stimulate interest in the earth sciences and lapidary arts.

Each month workshops are offered

to club members and visitors.

Workshops are free, but there may

be a small fee for kits that are

offered for some projects.

There are generally two or more

projects being worked on, plus

cabbing or faceting of gem stones

is usually offered.

Always something to do

Beads of your choice. Seed beads no. 6 are perfect for this because they are not too small to thread.

Add lobster claw to jump rings. On one end of wire add crimp bead and your jump ring with
lobster claw, then thread wire back through crimp bead and crimp it.

Now add the beads to desired length, add crimp bead, jump ring with lobster claw attached and

bend wire back through crimp bead and crimp it while hiding tail of wire through some beads

and snip the end of wire.

I usually like to add a little G-S Hypo Cement glue inside my crimp beads before crimping.
