This training provides safety and basic operations training on our laser machine. Students will learn about machine components, materials to use, machine and print job setup, and vector software basics. This will get participants up and running on the machine with a hands-on introduction to Adobe Illustrator. Participants will create a simple design in Illustrator and then cut and etch it in wood for their first laser cutting experience.
I grew up in Colchester and attended UVM for Business Administration. During that time I discovered the Generator and a love for making and designing. What I love most about making is finding where art and utility can combine into something greater than the sum of its parts. My current project is a sound system that integrates laser-cut art into its functional design. You can find me in the woodshop, on the laser cutters, and in the electronics lab making these speakers to sell at the BTV Market. I currently work as a CAD designer and Production Maker at Conant Metal & Light. When I'm not making at Conant or the Generator I love playing disc golf and board games, surfing, and doing anything that gets me in the water.
