By the time of this event, we'll have a Cricut Maker 3!

Anyone interested in using the Cricut to create paper cut-outs, vinyl stickers, iron-on designs, or other creations is invited to this introductory session. Stacey will walk us through the following:

  • What you can make with a Cricut
  • What the library can provide, and what materials you'll need to supply for yourself
  • A demonstration of the Cricut Design Space app
  • See the thousands of pre-made images, projects, and fonts available to you in Cricut Access
  • How to save a file in Illustrator or another program to be cut on the Cricut
  • See it in action
  • How you can make a reservation for a time slot!

It's not required to attend an intro session to use the Cricut. This is for those who'd like to get an overview and leave with the knowledge needed to plan a project for a future reservation time!

Instructor: Stacey McKim, manager of the Digital Media Lab

Registration is optional, if you'd like to receive a reminder.
