Nearly all of the pictures you see or use on a daily basis are raster images. But there is another type of image called a “vector image” that is what you use to get the most out of the laser cutter, CNC machines and vinyl cutting tools available at Makersmiths. This is a one evening introductory class which covers the basics and essentials of drawing in Inkscape so that you can begin drawing for those machines.

In this class the instructor will:

1. Explain the key differences between raster and vector as well as the uses for each

2. Introduce you to objects, paths, strokes, nodes and how to manipulate each to create vector drawings.

3. Show you how to take an existing raster drawing, turn it into a vector and manipulate it for cutting

Additional follow-up classes will show you how to take a vector drawing and prepare it for laser cutting, CNC or vinyl cutting.

This class will be held online using Google Meet/Hangouts and will include the ability to speak with the instructor and other attendees during the class. This is a webinar so a desktop computer with two screens or a laptop hooked up to a second screen is recommended (but not required) in order for you to view the instructor’s screen and practice in Inkscape at the same time. Please have the latest version of Inkscape installed prior to the class beginning.

Once you have registered and paid for the class, the instructor will send you a calendar invitation with the Google Meet details. You do not have to have a camera or Gmail account to join.
