Clay Denny has been instrumental in getting a new division developed this year at the Puyallup Fair in the Hobby Hall. The classes and prizes within the new Lapidary Arts Division Y are:
Class 1st prize is $10.00 and 2nd prize is $5.00
6700 GOLD/SILVER FABRICATION
focus on lapidary arts
6710 OTHER METAL ART to include casting
or freeform design metal, enamel art,
metal filigree with focus on lapidary art
6720 CABOCHAN CUTTING/POLISHING
6730 FREEFORM CUTTING/POLISHING

6790 INORGANIC GEMS DISPLAY
6800 PRECIOUS GEMS DISPLAY
6810 SEMIPRECIOUS GEMS DISPLAY
6820 CRYSTALS DISPLAY
6830 OTHER LAPIDARY ARTS
There must be at least 3 entries per class for any judging and prizes to be awarded. You may only enter 1 item per class, but you can enter as many classes as you wish.
Additional Awards will be:
Grand Champion – Purple Rosette plus $100 premium
Reserve Grand Champion – Lavender Rosette plus $25 premium
Look for more information in the Rock-A-Teer on how the club can help you in getting your entry ready. One idea is to have hands on classes that focus on developing your entry, or fine tuning your skills in Gem Trees, Silversmithing, Lost Wax Casting, Intarsia, Wire wrap or Cabochon cutting. There is a Division for Jewelry which has a class of Wire/Metal work where any Wire Wrapped item would qualify if class 6710 did not. We will try to get some additional detail around that craft and where those entries would be placed. Display area is to be no larger than 12” x 12” x 8”, so if you are thinking about creating a fossil or gem display, please keep that in mind.
