Each student will be able to experience the machine as well as the process of creating cutting files from start to finish. The classes will cover the same material and learning experiences as the training in Durham but are conveniently located in the highly creative neighborhood of Venice Beach, California; only fifteen minutes from the Los Angeles Airport.”
