Erin Lohnas will continue training in the use of the 3-D printer into this month in order to create viable workshops relating to the subject matter.

Introductory courses will continue to be held on using the 3D printer, and patrons will be shown how they can create different pre-made 3D models that are available online for download. This month’s workshops will be available on Saturday, August 3rd, and Tuesdays August 6th and 20th, all from 2 to 4pm.
