the unique facets of the Southeast Federation of Mineralogical
Societies is the Workshop Program, which offers members the
opportunity to gather for week-long, hands-on seminars taught
by experienced instructors. Whether you are a newcomer to the
lapidary arts and want to learn the basics, or you're experienced
and wants to learn something new or hone your skills, the Workshop
Program has something for you.
