About
Vector and Vertex Lab
Vector and Vertex Lab teaches the digital side of art and design: vector illustration, 2D animation and 3D modeling. Our instructors work in studios across the Bay Area and teach small evening cohorts on the Studio Beyond Us workstations, so students can bridge hand skills with the software employers expect. Every class ends with a finished portfolio piece.
