First Tuesday's Class

Join our awesome community!

Every month, CCGMS offers a free class to its members. These classes vary with a different topic each month. All have to do with the mission of CCGMS, which is bringing the study of rocks, minerals, gemstones, fossils, and the lapidary arts to the community. It is our hope that these classes will spark the creativity of the students and bring about further study.

POLICIES

To join this class, it is CCGMS policy that you must be a current member (up-to-date on your membership dues) and at least 16 years old. Instructors now determine the maximum number of students that they are comfortable teaching for their class, as some projects require more assistance than others. If you have a confirmed reservation, but then later realize that you are unable to attend, please let Karen know as soon as possible, as there are usually others on a waiting list who could take your spot. Typically, no walk-ins will be accepted.
