What it is

The Cabochon Workshop is a dated, one-day hands-on lapidary class at Wolf Craft School and Collective in Nevada City, California. The official product page says students “learn how to cut, shape and polish your own cabochons” and are guided through “using trim saws, grinding wheels and cabbing machines to transform a slab or uncut stone into a finished cabochon,” leaving with at least one hand-cut cabochon. It is taught by silversmith and lapidary artist Leora Coronel.

Who it’s for

Beginners and anyone in the Nevada City / Grass Valley area who wants a focused cabochon-cutting session with school equipment and an experienced instructor. You can bring your own stone; the school also supplies material.

Why it’s listed

It’s a lapidary-primary class (not a mixed jewelry drop-in) with a first-party Shopify product page, a printed price, a fixed studio address and a clear 2026 date. The listing covers this cabochon workshop, not Wolf Craft’s pottery or silver classes.
