About This Class

Get ready to slice, engrave, and create! In this exciting 2-day workshop, young makers will dive into the world of laser cutting and digital crafting using the powerful xTool M1 Ultra—a smart machine that can cut and engrave wood, acrylic, paper, and more!

Kids will learn how to design their own artwork, personalize items, and see how ideas turn into real, laser-cut creations. Through fun, hands-on projects and guided exploration, they’ll gain confidence with maker tools while building their creative and problem-solving skills.

By the end of the camp, every child will go home with custom laser-cut pieces they designed themselves—from name tags to layered art and more!
