The club operates a workshop, that is open to members most Saturdays, at the rear of the Museum. Here you can learn cabbing, faceting, carving, and other skills associated with the lapidary arts. The following pictures are of some of the equipment, and a soapstone carving class with a few examples of the instructors work.
