Lessons in Laser

Published on 31.10.14

FE Half Term can mean less footfall in some of the workshops, so Ellie (Textiles Tech Dem) made it her mission to gain knowledge of the Laser Cutter and what it can do in terms of Textiles. Ian as usual was a great teacher and samples were produced using both etching and cutting on various fabrics.

In the workshops we encourage crossovers between areas, its a strength that we are constantly building on. Process workshops are taking place that involve more than one workshop such as 3D/Print and Print/Ceramics. Technically, students from any course at HCA are able to access any of the Workshops.
