Discover lapidary, faceting and jewellery making—without the cost of setting up your own workshop.

One of the biggest advantages of joining Redcliffe Gem Club is the opportunity to learn specialised skills without the high cost of commercial classes or setting up your own workshop. Most people start as complete beginners.

Many of the skills practised at the club are normally learned through expensive short courses or by investing thousands of dollars in specialised equipment. At Redcliffe Gem Club, members can learn gemstone cutting, faceting, silversmithing and jewellery making in a friendly workshop environment for just $7.50 per session, plus annual membership.

Members have access to specialised equipment, experienced mentors and a supportive community of people who enjoy sharing their knowledge. Our workshops are community-based rather than formal classroom courses, allowing members to learn at their own pace, develop practical skills and explore new interests in a relaxed and welcoming environment.

Whether you’re completely new to rocks, gems and jewellery or already have some experience, the club offers an affordable and accessible way to discover these fascinating hobbies and continue developing your skills.
