Event Details

Take the first steps into designing graphics for laser cutting. Using Inkscape, a free Vector Graphics Software, we will create custom project 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 makerspace open hours at East and Sand Creek libraries, as well as Library 21c. If you are unable to attend this badging class or would prefer not to attend in-person, a virtual badging option is available. 

 

Note: patrons under 18 years of age will need to have a signed Creative Space Use Agreement for Minors to use the makerspaces during open hours. You are encouraged to submit this at the class so that we have it on file. You must be at least 9 years of age to be in the makerspaces or to attend this class. Children ages 9 – 11 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. 

 

Please note that your completed badges will be added to your library card. If you don’t have a library card, you can sign up online or in person at any Library location.
