This class is for adults (or teens with an adult) interested in learning the basics of laser engraving!
You will learn about our laser, see the laser engraver in action, and become badged (which means you can come and use the laser on your own)!
The software we use for our laser engraver is LightBurn, which is free to download if you'd like to familiarize yourself before class.
Registration Required!
Idaho Genealogical Society: Join us on Saturday, May 10th, 12:00–2:00, for a presentation entitled "What in the World is Find-A-Grave. Elaine Fraser will provide an introduction to using the Find-a-Grave website. Find-a-Grave can be a valuable tool for finding information and clues about your ancestors that may not be found in Ancestry or FamilySearch vital records. It includes so much more than just names and dates, and we will explore photos, flowers and profiles to see what else might be revealed.
Ages 6-14
Learn and practice foundational visual arts concepts in this exploration-based and engaging class. No experience necessary--all that's required is a sense of discovery, an open mind, and a willingness to get slightly messy!
Each class will focus on an individual component of visual art, such as Color, Contrast, Pattern, or Form (shape). We'll start with a warm up to get your kids and teens in the zone to create, then practice 1-3 techniques while introducing core concepts along the way. Expect to come out of class with some new knowledge and vocabulary, 1-3 pieces of art, and a confidence boost! Neither perfection nor artistic realism are the goals--just fun, self-expression, and learning! Parents/caregivers are welcome to attend with their littles free of charge.
