Learn Tinkercad
Throughout the month of April, Lizz hosted free, live streaming classes through her YouTube channel. Each week, she guided users step-by-step to make their own rings and pendants, offering a new style each week.
Each class is led as a hands-on demo where you walk through the 3D modeling process using Tinkercad, a free, online software made by Autodesk.
Prerequisite
Tinkercad is an easy to learn software, however learning to work in 3-dimensional space can take some time and patience. Before taking any of the classes, please be sure to take the Introduction To Tinkercad class. In this intro class, Lizz will walk through the interface and basic tools offered in Tinkercad.
