Laser Cutting

Laser cutting is no longer a stand-alone course. To learn how to laser cut, sign up for our Makers Workshop. There you will get the necessary instruction in Adobe Illustrator, learn how to operate the laser cutter, and have time with supportive people to laser cut your creations.

Here is a link to our Laser Cutter instructions.

On the second night, you will operate our laser cutter and make your designs come to life. Initial project is a wooden picture frame of your design.
