Classes

Whether you've never touched a tool or have years of experience, NextFab can help you develop the skills you need to tackle your most ambitious projects.

We provide introductory classes for basic and safe use of tools, "techniques" classes which focus on achieving a desired result with a process or tool, multi-day workshops which guide you through a project from start to finish, and advanced, multi-week courses which give you the expertise to push the limits of tools and materials. We even provide private training for specialized topics, or more rapid certification on equipment for experienced users.

We are constantly adding new topics and new sessions, so check the listing below frequently for updates.
We are also eager to tailor our educational offerings to your interests, background, and schedule - please  with requests or suggestions.

Interested in teaching a class or course? We'd love to learn from you and help you share your skills! .

MOST TOOL- AND MACHINE-RELATED CLASSES REQUIRE WORKSHOP-APPROPRIATE CLOTHING, INCLUDING LONG PANTS AND CLOSED-TOE SHOES. PLEASE REVIEW THE DESCRIPTION OF EACH CLASS FOR ANY SPECIFIC CLOTHING OR PREPARATION REQUIRED.
