This class is designed for the doer and maker at heart. Learn how to laser cut your own earrings or plugs from start to finish, and walk away with a set of your own. Each participant will learn how to use Adobe Illustrator to design their earrings and will get to see them laser cut right before your eyes out of colored acrylic or wood. The skills you will learn in this course can be applied to all kinds of laser cutting projects, so you could be making your own line of laser cut jewelry in no time! Oh, and did we mention, the holidays are right around the corner. No Illustrator or previous laser cutting experience required. Youth under 18 must be accompanied by an adult.
