Rabbit Laser Cutter Certification with Kate Dockery

March 17, 2022 @ 6:00 pm - 9:00 pm

  • « VIRTUAL: Needle Felted Daffodil with Kari Roslund
  • Food Summit 2022 »
After this workshop you will be certified to rent time on Contemporary Craft’s laser cutter!

3-Hour Workshop

Date: Thursday, March 17 (if you can’t make this date, this workshop is offered the third Thursday of every month)

Time: 6pm-9pm

Description: Students will work step by step through a Tic Tac Toe game project designed by Kate Dockery. We will cover safety, different file types and their applications, designing in the Lightburn program, and basic laser operation. After completing this workshop, you will be certified to rent time on the Rabbit Laser and will receive a CC pin to commemorate it! Please note that this workshop is required to rent private time on the Rabbit Laser.

Technology considerations:

  • CC uses Lightburn, a design software program, to command the laser. This program runs on both Mac OSX and Windows, and students should download the program before arriving for the workshop. A free 30-day trial of Lightburn can be downloaded at: https://lightburnsoftware.com/pages/trial-version-try-before-you-buy
  • In this group workshop, personal laptops or computers are required. If you do not have a laptop, we can accommodate you in a private session on our studio computer. Please reach out to ajones@contemporarycraft.org for more information on pricing and to schedule a private session.

Tuition: $55 + $10 materials fee

Materials: All cutting materials will be provided, but we recommend bringing a folder or binder to keep your handouts organized for later use. Students must also bring a USB drive.

Location: Contemporary Craft (5645 Butler St., Pittsburgh, PA 15201)

COVID-19: In accordance with current CDC guidance – we are recommending all visitors wear a mask. Please note that the recommendation applies to teaching artists, resident artists, students and guests attending events taking place at CC.

Cancellations and Refunds: Workshop cancellations are decided three business days before the start date. If workshops must be cancelled due to insufficient enrollment, the entire class fee will be refunded through Eventbrite, or you may leave your workshop fee in your Contemporary Craft account for future workshops.
