Class size: This class is a one-on-one class unless you'd like to take the class with a buddy. If you'd like to come with a buddy, purchase two classes and book your hours back to back. If you'd like to take this as a group class, please email us at hello@makeormaderva.com for instructions on how to book (a class of 4 to 6 usually takes about 2 to 3 hours).

When: You get to pick the time you'd like to take the class using our scheduling system. After purchase, go to the makerspace scheduler, select "Glowforge Laser" (this is the machine we'll be using to make your keychain), and book whatever time you'd like to come in. This class usually takes one hour, so book the Glowforge Laser for 1 hour. If you want to come with a buddy, the class may take up to two hours, so book one hour each, back to back, but arrive together!
