Enjoy the online class - after booking, you'll get a pre-recorded video with instructions. You're welcome to ask the teacher any questions you have.
With high-quality materials and really clear instructions, anyone can produce beautiful pieces of art and craft. Each kit provides all the materials you will need, step-by-step instructions, and examples of possible finished pieces.
The kit and tutorials cover the equivalent of a one-day course with the added bonus that you can do it from the comfort of your own home. You will learn to design your own laserable pieces, explore a variety of material settings, and design work in 2D, relief, and 3D. You don't need any prior knowledge or experience as I will take you through every step. The absolute joy of lasering is that you can create quality, precision work from just an idea. The laser cutter does all the hard work for you!
The workshop involves learning to
  • use drawing software (CAD) to create designs
  • set up and send jobs to the laser
  • experiment with different materials and thicknesses that can be lasered
  • use the settings to get the style and finish that you choose in a wide variety of materials
Tutorials are in Adobe Illustrator but LightBurn tutorials are coming soon! Please message if you would like this option. The tutorials are set on a Versa CO2 laser. Due to the huge range of lasers on the market, it is not possible to cover them all, but all concepts and principles are the same across lasers and software. All courses, workshops, and kits come with free support. Email me or arrange a video call. I love to see what my students and fellow crafters are up to and really enjoy answering questions or helping if I can. So any booking isn’t just for the day; it’s the start of a crafting friendship!
Kit includes:
  • Calipers
  • Materials (Woods, Acrylic, Slate, Fabric and more)
  • Findings
  • Templates for my most popular shapes (2D & 3D)
  • Masking Tape
  • Materials Database / Settings
You will need access to Adobe Illustrator (there is a Free Trial available on the Adobe website) to use as your laser design software. Having your own laser is ideal, but if you don't and you would like to try lasering, please message me and we can arrange for some of your designs to be lasered by me once you have completed the tutorials.

I first learnt to crochet as a child and spent hours and hours making, sewing, knitting and learning every new technique possible in art, craft and design. After a degree in graphics and 16 years of experience teaching Textiles, Graphics, Art & Design and Design & Technology, I strongly believe in developing my own practice to be the best tutor I can be. I am continually inspired by my students of all ages, so it's definitely a two-way street!
