We teach seasonal classes and offer one-on-one lessons at the Lane Community Technology Center. LinkedIn Learning is another good resource. They have a great Inkscape tutorial called Inkscape Essentials! Check your local library and community makerspaces to see what they offer; you'll likely be pleasantly surprised. Libraries and makerspaces make it possible for ordinary people to learn these skills without investing in expensive machines.
I got as far as the black circle and every time I click on the x in the Fill and Stroke menu my whole circle goes away. I don't get the red circle. I have followed this tutorial verbatim. Why am I not getting a red circle? This is so frustrating!
Clicking the X will temporarily make the circle go away. It is turning off the "fill," or the colored in part. When you click the Stroke tab and set the stroke style, then you'll get the outline around the shape, the "stroke." You just need to continue on to the next step and the issue will resolve itself. The shape isn't actually gone. You just have both the fill and the stroke turned off, which means that the shape is temporarily transparent. I hope this helps!
Thank you for watching and commenting on the video, Peggy! Unfortunately, we are unable to offer classes during the pandemic. We look forward to resuming in person classes once the virus is under control and it is safe to meet in group settings again. We usually host one Glowforge class per season, with two or three time slots to suit various schedules. Each of these classes includes Inkscape instruction. Once one-on-one instruction is deemed safe again, patrons will also be able to schedule one-on-one appointments to address more specific questions. In the meantime, I recommend the Inkscape Essentials class on Lynda. If you have a Lane Libraries card and PIN, you can take the class for free by signing in at www.lynda.com/portal/sip?org=lanepl.org. If you do not have a library card, you can sign up for one at lnpl.ent.sirsi.net/custom/web/registration/index.html.

How long did it take the Glowforge to cut and engrave it?
