At Make Santa Fe, learning is hands-on, practical, and built around real tools and real outcomes. We believe confidence comes from doing. Our classes are designed to help you build skills that stack, grow, and connect over time. Whether you’re just getting started or expanding into new disciplines, there’s a clear path forward.
Badge Classes
The foundation of learning at Make Santa Fe
Badge classes are introductory courses required to access our studios. They focus on safety, core techniques, and tool familiarity—giving you the confidence and permission to work independently in the space. Badge classes are the first step for every maker and the gateway to everything else we offer.
Best for:
- New members
- First-time tool users
- Anyone entering a new studio
200 Level Classes
Build on the basics. Make more complex work.
200 level classes expand on badge skills and move into applied outcomes. These workshops are designed to strengthen technique, improve problem-solving, and help you take on more ambitious projects with confidence. They’re the bridge between access and mastery.
Best for:
- Makers ready to level up
- Skill-building with real deliverables
- Developing fluency with tools and processes
Intensives
Go deep. Learn fast. Create boldly.
Intensives are multi-session deep dives into a single discipline. These courses are immersive by design—helping you build momentum, muscle memory, and a strong foundation in a focused area of making. If you want to come out the other side making, this is for you.
Best for:
- Focused skill development
- Rapid onboarding into a discipline
- Makers who learn by doing
Track Courses
A connected learning journey across disciplines
Track Courses combine badge classes and 200 level classes into curated learning paths. Tracks are designed to create breadth—connecting multiple tools, studios, and ways of thinking into a cohesive skill set. Where Intensives go deep, Tracks go wide.
Best for:
- Multidisciplinary makers
- Structured learning paths
- Building confidence across tools and studios
There’s no single right way to become a maker—only the next step. Whether that’s your first badge class or a full track course, Make Santa Fe is here to support your learning with tools, space, and community.
