Description: This class teaches not only all the basics of using a Cricut cutting machine, but also about material handling! Consider this a power-up to your craftsmanship skills as you make your own floating, one-of-a-kind, "3D" bug from a variety of unique papers and other materials. Choose from several designs illustrated exclusively for HackPGH by Feliks for a completely unique takeaway.
Students will learn a variety of techniques regarding gluing, cutting, and paper handling. This isn't your grade school arts n' crafts; at this size, precision is the name of the game. You'll learn all about art knives, archival adhesives, paper qualities, and of course, how to make your own projects in Cricut Design and other 'plotter' type programs! Students will each go home with their own stylized critter! No experience required, all materials provided. Have a favorite paper you'd like to use? Bring it! Bonus: Students who take this class will receive a discount code for the matching Framing with Feliks class to make a shadowbox to hold their beloved bug! Only pay $180 for both classes!
Cost: $50 for non-members $45 for HackPGH members. Be advised:
