  Who doesn't love taking a 3D model and creating an actual, real world object out of it? In this class we'll cover how to slice an existing 3D model to get it ready to be printed out, as well as common tips and tricks, material considerations, and basic machine setup and troubleshooting - all to help you take a 3D file and convert it into a tangible physical object.
  
  *This is a two session class. Part One covers Materials & Software, followed by Machine Setup, Use, and Troubleshooting in Part Two. If we ever have a class full of experienced users we may shorten that class to one session covering everything, but for the most part expect it to be two sessions.*
  
  **It's encouraged to browse a few 3D file repository sites such as thingiverse, yeggi, printables, etc. before coming in to find a file you might be interested in printing. Printing complexity can vary from file to file, so it's good to have a few files in mind in case one doesn't work out.**

  Discover the fundamentals of glass sculpting in this hands-on introductory class. Designed for beginners, Glass One will teach students how to work with glass in its solid state, use essential tools, and develop a foundational understanding of this captivating medium.
  
  Under the guidance of a professional instructor, each student will create two unique glass pieces: a sculpted flower and a paperweight. This small class size ensures personalized instruction and a safe, engaging learning environment. If there is time available we will go into learning how to blow glass, which dives into the level two glass class, Glass Two: Blowing glass.

  Students are required to take glass one before glass level two.

  Who doesn't love cutting things with freaking LASERS? In this class you'll get an overview of machine operation and software, safety, basic maintenance, and general tips and tricks to get the most out of the laser. If you have a specific piece of material you'd like to cut or engrave, please be sure to bring it with you.
  
  If you have an idea for a simple pattern or shape you'd like to learn to cut, bring an .svg file or simple black and white .jpg image with you.  If you aren't sure what that means, don't worry bring your idea and we can help you make it work.
