PGMC has a well-equipped workshop for use by members. Unfortunately, our liability insurance requires we allow only members access to the equipment. Join the Club and make use of this major benefit.
Members must sign a liability waiver and complete a short certification course provided by the workshop forepersons before being allowed to use the equipment.
There is a charge of $3 per hour for use of the equipment. This is a major bargain!!
The workshop is currently focused on the creation of cabochons, but the PGMC has obtained faceting equipment and silver/gold-smithing equipment. We are currently in need of instructors. Might that be you?
Workshop forepersons are available during all open hours to train attendees on the use of the equipment. The forepersons often boast that they can train you to complete your first cabochon project on your first day. Come see if this is just hyperbole or if they can really do it!! (Bet on the forepersons.)
Open hours are Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday from 1:00pm to 4:00pm.
The address of the workshop is 8534 E. Laredo Dr, Unit C, Prescott Valley, AZ 86314
