Laser 110: Geometric Puzzles (Rabbit Laser Clearance)

This class will introduce you to some of the skills and methods needed to turn your artwork into seamless, digital patterns as you learn hands-on CNC fabrication methodologies that can scale your art practice. You’ll learn how to operate our large format laser cutter; how to adjust speed and power settings for various materials; and how to work with tessellations to create repeating patterns. Though working with vectors will not be covered in this 3 hour intensive, you will receive a step-by-step guide to Inkscape that can be used as an introductory roadmap. Whether you’re already a member or choose to become one in the future, taking this class will gain you clearance to use our Rabbit Lasers independently.
