Canva is a free graphic design website that allows you to create professional looking social media posts, invitations, holiday cards, scrapbook layouts, work presentations, and so much more!  

Local artist Alyssa Taft uses Canva to create book covers and this evening she will teach you how to create designs beyond your wildest dreams using the free and paid versions of the service.

Participants will need to bring their device with them if they wish to work alongside Alyssa and should create a canva.com account prior to the class. 

Whether you are looking to step up at work, find a new outlet for your creativity, or are just curious, we will have you excited by the millions of possibilities by the end of this evening! Space is limited. Registration required.
