Class: Laser Cutting and Engraving - Try It! Workshop [NLR]

Laser Cutting – Try it! Wednesday, October 16th, from 4:00 pm to 6:00 pm.
In this introductory workshop, you will learn how to operate the laser cutters at The Hub using a pre-existing vector design. The laser cutters can be used to cut or engrave a variety of materials, including wood, paper, fabric, leather, craft foam, stone, tile, glass, cork, and acrylic. Gain valuable knowledge and apply that knowledge in class as you work through a laser engraved project. Please note that vector design is a prerequisite for this class but will not be taught during the workshop.
