The Cortes Island Museum is offering a full slate of special events this month

They start at 1 PM this Saturday, Aug 5, with Jewellery Identification. People are being invited to bring their own pieces. 

“I’ve got a small collection and  I’m going to at least bring some things that I have that I think are interesting.  We can go over the different types of materials, a little bit of the process of manufacturing and also go over the gems that are commonly found within pieces. We  even talk about  the time periods that the pieces have come from, as their stylistic choices in manufacturing basically,” explained Events Coordinator, Alex Woywitka.
