In this workshop, you will be led through an introduction to basic digital file design, operating a vinyl cutter, and heat pressing your design onto fabric. It is great for those wanting to explore vinyl cutting in a workshop-style format lead by an awesome Student Technician Instructor.

Important Notes:

• All participants will make an instructor-lead project. If your goal is to complete a personal print or project, this training teaches skills that support that goal, but will not provide time or support for personal projects.
• Come in any time during our open hours to work on personal projects. Student Technicians are avalable during those times to help.  Schedule a consultation for projects that need additional support. 
• This training is not mandatory for using the vinyl cutters. You can jump right in to vinyl cutting with our Roland GX-24 by following our online tutorials. 

Training is open and free for participants ages 8+. Participants 8-13 must complete training with an accompanying adult.
