 In this online class designed for Inkscape newbies, learn to build and edit an SVG using the free software Inkscape. SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) files are the file type used for our laser cutters and the base files for the vinyl cutter, plus they have many other applications. The session will end with an interactive question and answer period. Preregister to take advantage of the interactive portion.

We require you downloading the free Inkscape software prior to class. Mac users using Catalina (latest OS, 10.15) be sure to download the Upcoming Version.
