Join us at Maker Works for an evening of Laser Cutting & Puzzle Creation! Bring a 6" x 4" photo* that you’d love to transform into a unique puzzle. Under the guidance of Maker Works staff, you'll learn to prepare, mask, and laser-cut your photo onto wood, leaving with a custom puzzle you can treasure or gift. This hands-on workshop is perfect for creating memorable keepsakes and fun memories!
IMPORTANT: Please bring your own printed glossy 4" x 6" photo! Bringing a spare duplicate is nice in case something goes wrong.
Photos printed from Walgreens or CVS work great. Photos printed on traditional home printers aren't durable enough for the process.
How Many Puzzles Can I Make?
Each student can make up to 3 puzzles. Please bring a duplicate of each photo you intend to puzzle-ify!
