Hello,
I have just starting getting interesting in gem faceting and I was wondering if anyone knows of any classes in Minneapolis. I have been searching the net for about 3 days straight. I would really like to attempt this as a hobby and have been reading any information I have come across, but I can't afford a faceting machine.
Thank you for your help ahead of time.

Lissa

You could try asking the Minneapolis Community & Technical College. They offer jewelry related courses (or at least they did in 2003-2004), so they might know of local lapidary groups.

Often, local gem and mineral societies (Rock Hound Clubs) have cutting equipment and offer classes.
