About

Turn your ideas into reality with our full-day, hands-on laser cutting workshop at Maidstone Hackspace. Whether you’re a complete beginner or an experienced maker, this small-group course will give you the skills and confidence to design, cut, and assemble your own custom project – and take it home the same day.

What you'll learn and do:

  • Introduction & Demonstration (1 hr): Explore the tools, materials, and software used in laser cutting.

  • Design Your Project (up to 3 hrs): With expert guidance, develop your own design using our professional laptops and software.

  • Cut, Decorate & Assemble (2 hrs): Bring your project to life on our laser cutters and add finishing touches.

  • Future Skills (40 mins): Learn how to apply your new skills to future projects.

What you could make:

Over the years we've helped participants create all sorts of amazing pieces, including:

  • Laser-engraved lino art and layered 3D sculptures

  • Lanterns, night lights, and mood lamps

  • Wall art, feature pieces, and personalised name signs

  • Bunting, Christmas decorations, and unique gifts

  • Phone stands and other practical designs
