Cricut Maker Crafting Workshop

Ages 11+

Prerequisites: Must have excellent fine motor skills and the patience to work with cutting tools!

Get ready to design, cut, and create! This Cricut Crafts class is perfect for makers ages 11 and up who want to explore the exciting world of DIY crafting using the Cricut cutting machine. We’ll start by learning the basics of Cricut Design Space and crafting techniques, using tools and materials provided in class.

Students will use iPads or laptops to create their own digital designs, then bring them to life with vinyl, paper, iron-on, and more. Once the group has mastered key design skills, we'll collaborate to choose seasonal projects for winter and spring—think personalized gifts, custom shirts, cards, decals, and creative decor!

All Cricut tools and materials will be provided. Just bring your imagination and a willingness to create together!
