GVR LAPIDARY & SILVERSMITH CLUB

LAPIDARY MEMBERSHIP INFORMATION

Join / Renew

The GVR Lapidary and Silversmith Club is one of the largest clubs of its type in the United States. We operate three lapidary and silversmithing Centers in Green Valley. Each Center includes a shop, equipment for members to use for lapidary and silversmith activities, and classrooms for the many courses we teach through the club. We encourage all members to utilize each of the facilities to meet other club members and become familiar with the equipment available in each of the shops.

The annual dues of $55 is due by January 1st. We encourage you to pay early so as not to get the dreaded “OH NO” from the sign-in computer after the January 1st due date.  New students who join during a class in October, November or December, will get those months added to their next year's membership. New or returning members who join/renew later in the year, and wish to work in the shops during those months, must pay the current year's dues as well as the following year's.

 Please consider joining the GVR Lapidary & Silversmith Club as a member.
