  • Cost: Obligatory donation (you have to donate something, but the amount is up to you)
  • Who can attend: The course is open to all members

  • What to bring: We will be using the makerspace laptops, so no need to bring your own.

Inkscape is a really useful tool for 2D design, much easier to use than CAD.
I use and teach it rather than Illustrator because it is free!

Inkscape is a general design tool, but the course will focus on specific applications appropriate for the SLMS:

  • Laser cutting
  • Vinyl cutting
  • Rug tufting
  • Screen printing

There are 9 places in a first-come-first-served basis:
