Program Description

Event Details

Don't coast on the laser! Take the first steps into designing graphics for laser cutting. Using Inkscape, a free Vector Graphics Software, we will create custom coaster designs to engrave and cut out of 1/8” wood. No previous experience required. Ages 9 and up.

After completing this badging class, you will be able to use the laser cutter/engraver on your own during Open Hours at Library 21c, East and Sand Creek Library's Makerspaces. If all you need is badging, click here for an online option.

Due to the popularity of this program, please limit your registration to one slot per month.
