Turn your ideas into custom creations with a click and a beam of light in this hands-on intro to laser cutting! You'll discover how this quick, affordable tool has transformed the craft scene, letting you produce unique pieces again and again. From customized ornaments and signs to puzzles, artworks and mechanical gizmos, the list goes on and on.
You'll start by creating your designs, exploring inspiration, ideas, software and online resources. Then it's on to choosing and working with materials, preparing your file and operating the laser cutter itself. Along the way, you'll pick up tips and tricks for making small laser cut works, plus how to finish your piece with assembly, sanding, glues and more. If you love DIY crafts, this is your chance to take them up a notch. Just note that the class doesn't include a full introduction to vector drawing software like Illustrator or Inkscape.
By the end, you'll design and cut out your very own project to show off! This class is held at Chimera Arts Makerspace in Sebastopol. It's a creative pick for things to do in Sonoma County. Bring a friend along for one of the most original date ideas around. Get ready to dream up endless DIY projects and fire up the laser!
