Laser Cutting Courses and Trainings for Artists, Creatives and Educators

Curious about how to get started in laser cutting or want to advance your laser cutting skills beyond the basics?

I can help you learn the essentials to give you confidence for your next project and ensure you know how to safely approach laser cutting in your creative endeavors.

You’ll learn how to turn everyday laser cutting into a creative, expansive art form. Infuse your creative process with laser cutting with confidence and safety.

I believe that when you understand the why and how of a process, creative possibilities become expansive because you have the tools to problem solve issues as they arise and feel empowered to experiment and try new things.

You’re excited to start but maybe a little bit intimidated about learning a new technology. Don’t be!

You’ll learn how to create laser cutting files in Adobe Illustrator, and I’ll help you understand which materials are laser safe and where to source them from.

Working together, you’ll approach the techniques and applications with an artistic eye, learn how materials react to the heat of the laser and troubleshoot common issues and problems, such as finding the right settings for any materials.

In my teaching, I distill a decade’s worth of laser cutting knowledge into bite-sized and easily digestible pieces, teaching you the essentials so that you can jump into laser cutting without getting bogged down by learning from scratch or piecing together disparate resources.
