***This is a 2 day (2 session workshop)

Day one is Saturday, Feb 29 from 12:00pm - 4:00pm

Day two is Sunday, March 1, from 12:00pm - 4:00pm

This intro is for people who have used the laser but have never designed or edited objects in design software on their own.

Using "Inkscape" (a free software you can practice with at home later) you will design both from scratch, and using patterns or objects in jpg or other formats.

You will focus on design, in this case, of a box, but we will take you from start to finish in creation of an object from an idea, to a prototype, cover sourcing materials, testing, file creation and much more!

Once complete, you'll have the skills to design and make just about anything you can conceive on the laser machine.

Enrollment is capped at 3 attendees so that you get lots of one-on-one instruction!

Due to attendees varying levels of experience with software and design, please allow extra time at the end of each session to work on the project if needed as everyone learns at their own pace.  If you complete your project, you don't need to stay longer!

We plan a break around the 2 hour mark each day for breaks/snacks, stretch and handle calls.  Feel free to bring a drink/snack if desired.

Workshops must meet a minimum number of registrations.  Mixxer may cancel workshop 48 hours prior to start time, if minimum is not met. Should you need to cancel your registration, 48 hours notice is required to request a cancellation, refund or credit to future workshop date.
