This Cricut workshop focuses on designing and creating custom t-shirts using heat-transfer vinyl.
In this beginner-friendly class, you’ll learn how to design a clean, wearable graphic, cut iron-on vinyl with a Cricut machine, and apply it properly to t-shirts. We’ll cover mirroring, sizing, placement, layering, and heat application so your designs last and stay comfortable through real wear and washing.
Each participant will create two custom vinyl tees during the workshop—giving you space to experiment, refine your design, or create two different looks. This class emphasizes thoughtful design and practical technique rather than novelty graphics, so you leave with shirts you’ll actually wear.
All materials are provided. No prior Cricut experience required.
This program is FREE to current Maker Space Members (use coupon: Member) or $25 for non-members. Space is limited.
Meet your instructor: MARANDA LUJAJOHNSON
Maranda is a multidisciplinary artist and maker with a background in ceramics, drawing, and graphic design. She earned her degrees from Herron School of Art and Design at IUPUI and has since worked across mediums — from painting and sculpture to custom furniture design.
Maranda co-founded a design & fabrication business she runs with her brother and partner, a sustainable festival accessories company, and she converted a box truck into a tiny home, sparking her passion for custom builds.
Locally in Muncie, she serves as the Maker Space Coordinator at MadJax, where she leads the Villager Series — a weekly program rooted in the idea that it takes a village to bring community ideas to life. When she’s not making, she’s usually learning something new or helping others discover what’s possible with their own hands — though she’s just as happy tending a campfire, wandering the woods, or dreaming up ideas with friends.
