Our jewelry shop lead will be teaching the beginner basics of cabochon cutting and grinding on the three new machines available at the maker space. We will start from a rough stone (Either bring one or we have some at the maker space) and cut it into a slab on one of the saws. Next we will trim the slab into a shape and polish it on the diamond polishing machine.
