Classes
ONSITE: Introduction to Laser Cutting + Engraving (A)
Learn how to cut and engrave into a variety of materials using a laser engraver. We will create 2D graphic files in Adobe Illustrator that can be used to experiment with different materials. With a laser cutter you can work with wood, fabric, paper, other organic matter like leaves to create several objects you will leave with at the end of class, including utilitarian items for your desk and home. We'll design our own boxes and learn how to transfer your design to the laser cutter and assemble your finished box! Once you have the basics of box building, you will have a better understanding of the possible builds you can make in the future! Laser cutting is an exciting tool to have access to and this will be the first class using the VisArts Fab Lab’s new equipment!
Special Notes
- Students are welcome to bring in your their materials but there may be limits on what we can use so we'll discuss projects and what may be compatible.
