Learn how to get started with laser engraving projects using the library’s Glowforge Pro–it's super easy! We will discuss sourcing and using Proofgrade materials, project basics from start to finish as well as tips and tricks to hone your laser engraving skills. This is a lecture; you will also be registered for the Laser Engraving Lab on Sep. 18th (3:00pm-7:00pm) to complete a Glowforge engraved project. We will have a more specific time-slot sign-up sheet for the lab available during the lecture.
