[Noisebridge-discuss] [Flux] Inkscape for cutting tools class, May 15th

[Carla Riggi]

Hi Corey,

What if I do NOT have access to a laser, plasma, vinyl, or other 2d, CNC
cutting tool, but I DO want to learn how to compose documents for it?
...because I'm sort of a techie and I like learning new stuffs.    Can I
come learn?  Or do I need some prior knowledge about...any of this?
