Core Tool “Badge” Trainings are open to both Make Santa Fe members and the general public. They serve as an introduction to the safe and proper use of a tool or shop. They must be taken successfully before members can access the tool or shop independently.
Badge Trainings are different from workshops in that they mainly cover tool operations and are not able to cover the techniques for each tool in depth. To learn more about techniques, or specific products, check out our Workshops Page or request a Private Lesson.
