Welcome to the home page of
The Tomoka Faceters Guild
Wphotos and up to date information on current events concerning the Guild.
Just a reminder that the May meeting will be Saturday the 18th at 2pm. The meeting will be a "rock swap". You may bring faceting rough, equipment or anything related to faceting to trade or sell. Bring cash because there will be something for everyone.
We meet on the 3rd Saturday of each month (except June, July & August) from 2:00pm to 4:00pm at the Flagler County Public Library located at 2500 Palm Coast Parkway, N.W., Palm Coast, FL 32137. Their phone number is (386) 446-6763. Exceptions this year are March and October. The October meeting will be held on Saturday the 5th
Our purpose is to promote and support the art of faceting through sharing and teaching, with a special focus in introducing others to this special ho
Each meeting includes a main instructional topic, Demos, "Cut of the Month and Show and Tell" where we show stones we've recently cut, share ideas, ask and answer questions, etc., all with the emphasis on keeping it light and enjoyable! TFG Dues are $15 per year ( $20 for Family). We keep the business portions of our regular meetings to less than 15 minutes, so that we can better spend our time talking about, demonstrating, showing off our stones or sharing lots of practical tips and how-to-do's.
Faceting classes are offered by Tom Mitchell of Mitchell Jewelry Studio. Their website is www.mitchelljewelrystudio.com or you may call Tom at home (352) 751-0906 or on his cell (352) 643-1423.
In addition, instruction is offered from time to time on various other advanced topics, ranging from Mastering the Ceramic Lap to WinGemCad , Free-Form Stones and many other topics. Once or twice a year we bring in guest speakers to share their expertise and we also have rock and gem sales at one or two of the regular meetings during the year.
