Frequently asked questions

How long will this workshop last and what are we doing?

On average this workshop takes an hour to 1.5 hours to teach. We will go over the software needed for using the machine, preparing the design, setting up the material, and finally carving.

Do I have to bring my own materials?

No, we provide everything here for free! In return we ask that you be respectful of other patrons and clean up after yourself.

Wait! What if I forget something after this workshop?

Don't worry! When attempting to cut something on your own don't be afraid to ask a staff member for guidance when you get stuck. We are here to help answer any questions, just let us know you've received your authorization but need some assistance.
