About The Class

Instructor: Sarah Pike

Medium: Laser Cutting

Workshop Title: The Layered Laser Cut

Discover the art of laser cutting through layered imagery in this hands-on workshop. You'll gain experience operating a laser cutter, expand your creative possibilities by fine-tuning settings, and learn insider techniques for cutting paper and wood. You'll design three personalized projects using Inkscape: play with color in a layered paper design, craft a three-dimensional hand-colored shadow box, and transform your paper shadow box into a wooden box. While experience with programs like Photoshop or Procreate is strongly recommended, no laser-cutting experience is necessary.
