Laser Engraving Workshop with Stuart Lawn

Laser engraving and cutting can create beautiful art and craft products. In this one-day workshop, participants will learn how material choices and techniques can produce different effects and aesthetic looks. The process will include a demonstration of free software that can be used to create graphics and images, as well as how these can be refined to suit the laser engraving process. A variety of materials will be used for laser engraving, and participants will learn how the material itself can affect the finished product.

In addition to the software, the different types of laser engraving and cutting machines will be explained, with the CO2 laser cutter being used to make sample projects. All participants will have the opportunity to cut or engrave an image or design of their own onto wood or acrylic to take home. No prior experience with laser engraving or design software is required, and all materials will be provided. Participants are encouraged to bring their own laptops, though a limited number of laptops will be available for use.

These workshops are funded by Leitrim Local Community Development Committee under the 2023-2027 LEADER Programme.
