Faceting Gemstones
Our NMFG members supported AGMC’s annual TotE show again in 2025. The show was popular as always and another great success. NMFG members were present for the entire show. During the entire show, NMFG members demonstrated faceting and answered questions from visitors. Below are a few photos from the show.
NMFG MEMBERS,
The next NMFG faceting workshop will be Sunday, 30 March 2025, at the Placitas Community Library, 453 Hwy 165, Placitas 87043, with set up starting at 8:30am and the workshop running from 9 AM to 3 PM. We’ll follow the usual format of spending most of the time at your machines. Instructors will be available to assist anyone needing help. The cost is $15.00 per person to cover the cost of materials, lunch, and part of the cost for the use of the library. Please RSVP by Thursday, March 27th so we can do the necessary planning. This is an opportunity to pay your 2025 dues.
Very important: If you do not have a machine and want to come to the workshop you must let me know ASAP because there are only two available faceting machines, and instructors are limited.
Parking is in the gravel lot to the West side of the building. You will enter the meeting room from the parking lot. You will be able to dump the wastewater in the dirt past the North end of the parking lot. There is a kitchen type setup where you will be able to get water.
Directions to the Placitas Community Library: Go North on I-25 to exit 242. Exit and go East 4.3 miles and you will see a Green and White sign pointing to the library.
If you have questions, call George. Please call or email George to RSVP.
