General Class Information
All Classes Require Advance Registration.
An all-member email is sent on the last Tuesday evening of each month between 6:00 pm and 10:00 pm announcing that classes for the next month are available for registration. If you wish to register, simply respond to the email (school@renogms.org) with the class name and time you wish to take. I will respond with a "You are student # x. Class fee is $xx.xx." so that you know you have a reserved space. I will also include our Treasurer, Janet Longueira, in that response. The Treasurer will forward an invoice to you so you can pay for your class prior to the first session. All classes, unless otherwise noted, are a full month in length and new classes begin each month. Class sizes are limited and fill quickly.
We Offer a Wide Range of Jewelry Making Classes!!
Our well-qualified instructors, some with master’s level credentials, teach many of the disciplines necessary to create beautiful, handmade works of art, using minerals, gems and fossils found right here in Nevada!
