Workshop Description

Do you have a Cricut cutting machine? Are you overwhelmed with how to use it and just can’t get started creating your own designs and projects? This tool is one of the most used tools in my arsenal of woodworking tools. I use it to cut vinyl for stencils that I then apply to my work with acrylics. It can cut flat veneers, foil, fabric, paper, thin plastics, vellum, thin leather, and the list goes on. Join Jennifer for a week filled with learning all of the amazing things that you can do with a Cricut cutting machine, related to woodworking and far beyond.

Jennifer will introduce you to Cricut Design Space, the software that drives your Cricut cutting machine. You’ll learn lots of tips and tricks to save you time, reduce and avoid mistakes, and stop wasting expensive materials. This week we will make an etched drinking glass, a stenciled wood sign and wall hanging, a wood veneer bookmark, an etched copper insert for your next box project, and finally we will end the week by making a fun T-shirt of your own design.
