Club members may use the lapidary room after taking \u00a0the lapidary introduction class ($30 per person). Members will learn to use the equipment safely and also get basic instruction on how to make a cabochon. The lapidary room is open on Thursdays, from 6-8:30 PM at Space 424 of the Bellis Fair Mall in Bellingham. You must sign up and pre-pay for classes and sessions at the club’s store<\/a> (Bellis Fair Mall, Space 424). The fee is $10 for 3 hours of use. There will be only four people allowed each session, so when you go to sign up it will be “first paid, first date available”. There will be a waiting list for prepaid members. If you do not show up for the time you selected, you will forfeit your $10. The club’s insurance requires that users of the lapidary room must be club members and at least 18 years old.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Large cuts on the saws will be done by one of the monitors. The class fee may include one slab cut. Other cuts will be done for a fee when time allows. Bring your own safety glasses and hearing protection<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A class on how to use a tumbler for polishing stones is held depending on interest. If you are interested in taking a tumbler class, please attend one of our meetings or send email with your name and phone number to the club’s email address<\/a>. You can use the form on the Contact page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
