My daughters and I are new to jewelry making, anyone know anywhere in Houston?
Q.My daughters and I are new to jewelry making. I was so excited when I read your post mentioning the programs for kids available as part of your group. Can you please share the name of the group or a website so that we may get involved?
A.Our group is the Houston Gem and Mineral Society. Our web page can be found at: www.hgms.org The children's group meets on the first and third Saturdays of the month from 10:00 AM to 12:00 noon. The clubhouse is located on the corner of Rockley and Brooklet near Beltway 8 and Highway 59 South (the traffic is not at all bad on Saturdays). Currently, we have 16 - 20 children that participate regularly and another 10 that drop in and out (sports activities allowing). We have only 1 meeting in December due to the holidays. Children's membership is $8.00 yearly and that covers everything. We also have educational extension programs available to schools and scout troops. For yourself, you might also want to check up on our lapidary, fabrication, wire wrapping, and precious metal clay classes that are scheduled starting in January (not sure if the web page has been updated for these yet). We have a fully-equipped shop and a lot of knowledgable people that are always willing to help out.
