Suggestions on taking Lapidary classes in or around Minneapolis, Minnesota

Hello everyone,
I have a friend that lives in Victoria, Minnesota. He is thinking of taking some starter lapidary courses to see if he likes cutting and making stones. I mentioned to him, it would be better for him to initially take a few beginning lapidary classes. That would get him the fundamentals from the start and find out if he enjoys it or not, also before he spends $$ on equipment. Does anyone know of lapidary classes taught in the Minneapolis, Minnesota area?

Thanks to everyone for their suggestions and help/thoughts

Following is a link to rock and mineral clubs.

Search in Minnesota and you will find four. These clubs often have classes. Good luckā€¦Rob
