Lapidary Workshop
Find the Color Hidden in Stone
Pick up a rough stone and you might glimpse a flash of color. Cut into it, shape it, and polish it, and a pattern millions of years in the making begins to appear.
In Academy Inspira’s lapidary studio, you’ll learn to turn rough stones into smooth cabochons using water-cooled wheels and your own sense of curiosity. Follow a band of agate, bring out the depth in jasper, or let an unexpected shape guide you.
Every stone holds a surprise. Part of the art is discovering it.
Inspira has several shaping and polishing stations, lap saws and all the equipment needed to cut, shape and polish!
