Intro to Cricut - Textile Lab Orientation

In this Orientation Safety class, you’ll get an overview of the Cricut Machine in The Foundry's Textile Lab by making a personalized keepsake with your own design. This is a good class for beginners who want to learn about the various functions of the machine, the different materials it can cut, as well as getting the best results from infusible ink transfer sheets.
Upon completion, and with a pay-what-you-can donation to The Foundry as a supporter, you're eligible to use our makerspaces during Open Maker Hours (Monday's 6-9pm and Saturday's 9am-1pm) to continue to hone your new skills and work on personal projects with support from our trained supervisors.
