Make a custom sticker or iron-on decal with the Cricut Maker.
Space is limited and registration is required. This workshop is designed for customers 16+ years of age. All materials provided.
This introductory workshop will cover how to cut vinyl with a Cricut Maker, either for a sticker or an iron-on decal. You’ll get to use the Design Space software to pick from tens of thousands of images for your project, select a color of vinyl material and learn how to load it into the Cricut, and use the Design Space app to send your project to the Cricut to be cut. Then you’ll learn how to apply your sticker or iron-on transfer. The workshop will also provide an overview of other capabilities of the Cricut, including the array of other materials that can be cut with these versatile machines and avenues for creating your own art with the Cricut.
Please bring a device with you for perusing images: a phone, tablet or laptop computer, either Apple or Andriod. If you like, you can load the free Cricut Design Space app onto your device prior to the workshop.
About the Instructor:
Danielle Thalman began teaching herself to sew clothes on an ancient “red eye” Singer at age 9. That interest eventually expanded to include other textile arts such as screen printing, fabric dyeing, quilting, digital art and using Cricut smart cutters.
Now 63 and retired from public school teaching in Southern Oregon, Thalman teaches sewing for COCC and does some production sewing for a local company. She also helps run a Bend-based volunteer group that repairs sewing machines, which are then donated to local members of the community. She particularly enjoys rehabbing vintage sergers and teaching people how to use them. The MakerSpace volunteer crafts her own jeans, t-shirts and swimwear, as well as jackets, leggings, hats, socks, bags etc. While the often solitary act of making clothing has always given her joy, in recent years Thalman has come to see how crafting can promote community.
“Creating with others is not only fun, it creates bonds that enrich us all. Mending items, upcycling and keeping stuff out of the landfill are all positives for the environment, too. I love how the MakerSpace promotes all of this.”
Thalman has climbed and flyfished extensively throughout the west but lately has been content to fish and climb locally and hang out at her home just north of Redmond, which she shares with her husband, cat and about 28 sewing machines.
