About This Class
Discover the world of vector art with Inkscape, a free and powerful design tool perfect for creating illustrations, logos, posters, and more! This hands-on class is designed for complete beginners—no prior experience necessary.
You’ll learn the basics of navigating Inkscape’s interface, drawing and editing shapes, working with text, tracing images, and building clean, scalable vector graphics. We’ll also cover how to export your designs for use with machines like Cricut, laser cutters, CNC plasma, Xcarve, and other CNC tools—making this a great class for makers, artists, and DIY enthusiasts.
We’ll provide PC computers for all students to use during the class—no need to bring your own device.
By the end of the course, you’ll feel confident creating your own designs and completing a simple personal project. All software is free and open-source.
Perfect for crafters, creatives, small business owners, and anyone curious about digital design.
