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 $60 are due by January 1st. We encourage you to pay early. New members who join in October, November or December will get those months added to their next year's membership.
