Custom Design Demonstration and Training Session

Join us in the makerspace for a demonstration and training on sublimation and vinyl cutting, with special attention to Cricut and Brother equipment.  

  • Attendees will gain an exposure for how the Cricut cutting machine can take digital designs created in the Cricut Design Space and print/cut their project onto sticker paper, vinyl, and other soft materials.

  • For more information on how you can be successful using the Cricut take a look at our Getting Started Guide.

After this…

  • Attendees will learn about the art of Sublimation which uses heat to transfer graphics, like the ones taken with your phone, and transfer them to ‘blanks’ such as tee shirts, puzzles, mugs, and wood.
