Explore how digital tools can be part of hands-on making. In this short workshop, participants will use the Fab Lab’s laser cutter and the xTool screenprinting jig to create simple designs and turn them into screens for printing. We’ll walk through the process of engraving an image or text onto a pre-coated screen, then use it to print on paper or fabric.

Participants will leave with a one-of-a-kind print—and a look at how the Fab Lab’s tools can open new possibilities for creative work. 

All levels welcome; all materials provided. Participants may bring something to print on.

Discover how light, shadow, and digital tools can come together in this playful cyanotype workshop. Participants will use laser-cut shapes and found objects to create one-of-a-kind blueprints on fabric and paper. After arranging materials on light-sensitive surfaces, we’ll expose them to sunlight or UV light and rinse in water to reveal the final image.
