MakeHaven Main Space
The main makerspace and connected shops. This is located at 770 Chapel Street. Registered participants should ring the MakeHaven labeled doorbell. They will be directed down a long hallway, and down a set of stairs to our basement workshop.
In this online class designed for Inkscape newbies, learn to build and edit an SVG using the free software Inkscape. SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) files are the file type used for our laser cutters and the base files for the vinyl cutter, plus they have many other applications. The session will end with an interactive question and answer period. Preregister to take advantage of the interactive portion.
Participants will need a laptop to follow along. If you need to use a MakeHaven computer, please indicate as such in the registration form.
We require you downloading the free Inkscape software prior to class. Mac users using Catalina (latest OS, 10.15) be sure to download the Upcoming Version.
