SUMMARY:Cabochon 101 (Mar 6\, 2026)
DESCRIPTION:Class:  CABS 101  \nDate: Friday\, March 6th\, 2:00PM – 5:00PM \nLocation:  HGMS Clubhouse\, 10805 Brooklet Drive\, Houston\, TX 77099\, Center Classroom/Lapidary Shop\nInstructor:  Sharon Halton\nCost:  Member Cost $65.00; Non-Member Cost $85.00\nMinimum: 3-students; Maximum: 5-students\nNOTE:  Students must be at least 15 years old (special arrangements for children 12-14\, exception with approval of instructor ONLY) \nAll participants must wear closed toed shoes \n  \nThis class includes a discussion of how to create cabochons and examples of cabs in various stages of development.  Sharon Halton\, Shop Manager\, will provide each student with a pre-cut\, preformed\, and dopped cabochon to shape while their chosen slab is curing from the dopping process.  Students will select a slab and learn how to use a template to outline the cab shape and use the trim saw to roughly shape the cabochon outline.  Each student will leave with 2-cabochons and the knowledge to finish them\, if they have not completed them in class.  Students will learn the best way to use the equipment in the Lapidary Shop so that they can work semi-independently and confidently in the shop afterwards with oversight from Shop Managers. This class is highly recommended for those wishing to utilize the Lapidary Shop.
