This Saturday I’ve got plenty of room in my Intro to 3D printing class, 10AM CST Feb 15th! The following Saturday I’m teaching a new class, Resin 3D Printing 101!, sharing everything I’ve learning about the other kind of 3D printing!

This will probably be the last time I’ll be teaching regularly scheduled classes for a couple of months since I’ve got a big project coming up in the studio that’s going to be taking up all of my time and space!

But if you’re interested in booking group classes where I come to you or teach via Zoom, like for Scouting groups, home schooling, etc, give me a shout! Any of the classes I have on my site can be booked as a group class by appointment!
