Roughly 6 months from their first workshop offering, Hand Turkey Studios will be holding two Blender training workshops this month on consecutive weekends. Both classes are considered ‘Basics’ level classes, though they do build upon each other and even offer a few tricks that more experienced users would find helpful.

Time: 2:00 PM – 6:00 PM

If you’re interested in attending, please send an email to [email protected].

Descriptions of each of these workshops can be found on the Workshops page of this site. Copies of Blender for all modern computing platforms and all files used in the workshop will be made available on DVD for course participants.

There is limited space available, so please confirm your attendance early.

These workshops will be held in a different location than their previous ones, but with better facilities, including more computers on-site and a large projection screen that should be easier to see. There has been fairly strong attendance in previous workshops and attendees have ranged from pure beginners to professionals and educators in animation, television production, and even engineering.
