School Holidays: Laser cut stickers and stamps, 9-12 yrs

Led by an experienced facilitator in the Darling Square Library Makerspace, this workshop is a great introduction to laser cutting using Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop software. 

Street art stickers provide a platform of expression for artists to create imagery that subverts mass media. In this workshop you will learn the art of sticker design and production using laser cutting software and a variety of approaches.

In addition, students will create a stamp out of laser-cut plywood that can be used to produce their own stickers and merch.
