Our first set of Office Hours will be for the Cricut on Tuesday, May 20 from 6-8 PM. We’ll have several Cricuts available to cut out vinyl, fabric, leather, cardstock, and very thin balsa wood and people who can help bring your project to life. Members can also come to get trained on our Cricut Maker so they can use it whenever they want!
