Laser-Cut Appliqués: Hands-On Design + Fabrication
Join us for an interactive workshop where you learn how lasers enhance textile decoration through non-contact cutting, heat-sealed edges, and precise, high-detail results. After a quick demo, you will design and laser-cut your own custom twill name and heat-press it onto a shirt to take home. The class also introduces advanced techniques like kiss-cutting multi-layer twill, and creating leather or leatherette patches. Students leave with practical laser skills and a personalized piece of wearable art.
