1st Floor Room
This educational room has seating and tables suitable for instruction away from the noise of the main workshop. It is located on the first floor of 770 Chapel Street. Guests should ring the MakeHaven doorbell, then proceed down the long hallway. When you get the main MakeHaven staircase by the double elevators, rather than go downstairs, proceed through the double glass doors, take a right down the hallway and you will see a room with a big robot sticker on the door.
In this class designed for Inkscape newbies, learn how to build and edit an SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) using the free software Inkscape. SVG files are scalable to any fixed size and are the file type used for our laser cutters and the base files for the vinyl cutter, plus have many other applications.
Learn the basics of Inkscape to get a leg up in your next maker project. We will cover topics such as Object to Path, Stroke Paint, Text, Raise/Lower, Layers, Union, Difference, Trace Bitmap, Fill, Distribution and Alignment and more. Participants will need a laptop to follow along. If you need to use a MakeHaven computer, please indicate this in the registration form and we will see what we can do. We require you downloading the free Inkscape software prior to class. Download it for free on mac or PC here.
This special $5 class is offered for MakeHaven members only.
