Jun 29, 1:00-6 (feel free to bring a snack and a drink):

JPG file of work to be laser "etched" or cut as a stencil, should be emailed to Cathy Savage by June 21 for file setup. Participants can laser etch two smaller matrices or one larger matrix. (If a stencil is desired, email Cathy so we can talk about file set up and dimensions.) High res and high contrast files work best. When creating file, black will indicate area you wish "etched." JPGs should be 300 dpi and can be any dimension--we can reduce the size for you.

Note: It's possible there will be extra laser time available, so you may want to bring a thumb drive with an extra image just in case.

Workshop participants can laser cut into chip board, mat board, or Baltic birch wood. Stencils will be cut into poster board. When you send your file, please indicate the material you wish to use so we can have it in the shop.

WPA print shop will be open for printing. Since laser cutting takes a bit of time, MAKEatx will have some matrices prepared so we can get started immediately. Everyone will get a chance to interact with the machine, so no worries if your first plate is done when you arrive.
