YOU MUST HAVE COMPLETED SHOP SAFETY TO USE THE LASER CUTTER!

In this session I will teach you the basics of using the laser cutter through an exercise in stencil making.

We will start off by designing our own stencils in illustrator and then go over how to cut these on the laser cutter.

(This will cover the same material as the morning edition)

you will need your laptop, access to illustrator (or similar software), a flash drive, and a word or short phrase you want to cut out.

I will be providing some material for everyone to try laser cutting but if you have lofty dreams and ideas that require a lot of material I would recommend buying some oil board from Blick: https://www.dickblick.com/products/duro-oil-board/?fromSearch=%2Fsearch%2F%3Fsearchword%3Dduro%20board

The closest Blick is on 41 Flatbush Ave which is like a 13 min walk from the floor.
