CARLSBORG — The Clallam County Gem & Mineral Association will host an open house from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday.
The open house will be at the club’s new facility at 40 Harrison Road off Hooker Road.
Club members will be on hand to show how to cut and polish stones.
Class instructors also will be available to explain the club’s various classes, including metal smith, wire wrap, chain maille, faceting, beading and rock painting.
Visitors can see the new classroom and shop and spend the day with other “rock hounds.”
A nonprofit association, the Clallam County Gem & Mineral Association was organized for educational activity in the science of geology as it relates to the discovery of rock, mineral and fossils, the art of lapidary to enhance rocks’ natural beauty and to the promotion of rocks and “rock hounding” through information and special programs.
