Lapidary Classes

Lapidary Classes, taught by Doug Duffy, take place at the North Mountain Visitor Center and are held for 4 consecutive Wednesdays from 9:00 am till Noon. Price is $60 for 12 hours of Instruction. Classes are held in Doug's classroom at the Visitor Center. There are four grinding/sanding units and at least one brand new trim saw for your use. Once completed, you will be certified by Doug on all of the lapidary equipment in the classroom and will be eligible to participate in Open Studio on Thursdays. Call Doug for more info at 602.973.4291. This class fills fast since there is only room for four students at a time, so call Doug as soon as you know you want to take his class to get on the wait list.
