Design and laser engrave custom jewelry from recycled (and new) material at Create Makerspace. Using scrap wood, leather, tire tubes, and acrylic, we’ll create beautiful and unique art that reflects your personal style.
Participants will take home two items of custom jewelry (a combo of a bracelet, necklace or earrings) in the materials of their choice.
Learning objectives:
Brief overview of laser cutter theory and safety*
Choosing materials for laser cutting
Designing and cutting jewelry pieces
Finishing and assembling jewelry
*To use the laser cutter independently, participants will need to take Laser Cutter Level 1.
