NEW! 5603. Turquoise - Intermediate Level Lapidary
Learn the special touch that turquoise takes to coax the beauty from this popular stone. You'll use slabs, design and trim the shape and use a cabbing machine to shape and polish a beautiful turquoise cab. Learn when and how to use backing material and explore several different shape cuts during this course, concentrating on non-calibrated and freeform shapes. CabKing cabbing machines are used, and the class is limited to four students, one for each machine. Students should be comfortable sawing, shaping and polishing at a cabbing machine. Not a beginner's class. The turquoise rough material is included in the course fee. A short supply list will be mailed. (age 18 to adult)
