Whether you’re brand new to cutting machines or want to build a strong foundation with vinyl, this hands-on workshop will guide you through everything you need to know about working with adhesive vinyl. Using your Cricut, Silhouette, or Siser machine, you'll learn how to design in your chosen software, select the right vinyl for the project, cut with precision, weed like a pro, and apply vinyl smoothly to a range of surfaces.
We’ll cover key tips and tricks to help you avoid common pitfalls like bubbles, poor adhesion, or misaligned layering. You’ll also gain an understanding of the differences between permanent and removable vinyl, how to use transfer tape effectively, and how to layer multiple colours.
This workshop is perfect for beginners, but also a great refresher for anyone who’s dabbled in vinyl and wants better results. You'll walk away with finished projects, newfound confidence, and the skills to continue creating at home.
What You’ll Learn:
  • Navigating your software: Cricut Design Space, Silhouette Studio, or Leonardo Design Studio
  • Understanding different types of adhesive vinyl and when to use them
  • Step-by-step cutting, weeding, and application techniques
  • Tips for layering designs and avoiding common mistakes
  • Choosing the right blanks and surfaces for your vinyl projects
Projects:
