Only interested in the basics of the laser? Consider our single session laser tool training class! These are posted multiple times a month.
Discover what a laser can do!
Join Nova & Marty for a hands-on, four-part series on our most popular machines: the Epilog Helix laser cutters/engravers.
Start with a training on the laser (day 1), then learn the ropes of vector design software with Inkscape (day 2). Learn concepts like color mapping, kerf, bitmap tracing, layers, and more. Engrave custom drinking glasses, rubber stamps, wooden puzzles, and other useful + giftable trinkets (days 3 & 4)!
Enrollment includes 30 free days of membership — so you can come back right away to keep cutting, engraving, and experimenting.

Agenda
Session 1: laser Tool Training
Get confident on the Epilog lasers as you learn safety, setup, and the main cutting/engraving techniques. Leave with a custom nametag and certification to use the lasers on your own.
Session 2: Intro to vector design (inkscape 101)
Learn Inkscape, the free design software perfect for more than just laser projects. Gain the abilities to create, edit, and prep your own artwork. By the end, you’ll know how to build laser-ready designs from scratch.
Session 3: Cylinders & Stamps
Leave the flat world behind — switch it up by engraving on cylindrical objects (drinking glasses in this case). Learn how to install the “rotary tool” and make a custom engraved rocks glass. Then, make some custom rubber stamps too!
Session 4: puzzleS & Trinkets
Bring your own 4”x6” glossy photos to turn into wooden puzzles or custom-cut decorations. The latter half of this session varies by laser track, especially if it’s near a holiday. Make trinkets & gifts relevant to the season!
