About this Event

Laser Cut Earrings (or Keychain)

This hands-on workshop introduces you to digital design and laser cutting. You'll learn to use Boxysvg, a simple vector graphics editor, to design custom earrings, and cut them from acrylic or wood using the Glowforge. Whether you're new or have some experience, this class lets you explore your creativity and make beautiful accessories. You'll leave with your own laser-cut earrings, assembled on silver findings.

Class Objectives:

  • Learn the fundamentals of digital design and vector graphics using Boxysvg.
  • Understand the principles of laser cutting and its applications in jewelry making.
  • Explore various design techniques for creating visually appealing earrings.
