Event Description

Join the Valley Fab Lab trainers for a step-by-step guide for making art in Inkscape and using the Epilog Mini Lasers to produce unique projects. This event features two separate classes: using Inkscape to make vector art and printing onto material with CorelDRAW.

You can use both the 40 watt and 60 watt laser machines to perform precise and easily repeatable etching and cutting operations. Work with wood, leather, plastics, rock, glass, and more. Both machines feature a work area of 24x12 inches.

If you have not used the Inkscape program, the morning class is required. If you have already learned how to use it in another class, your attendance is optional, but it is always good to experiment with advanced functions with a VFL trainer for help. The clearance class will be 60-90 minutes where you will get hands-on experience using the machine with the guidance of a trainer.
