Laser Cut Note Box
Duration: 3 hours
Difficulty: Easy
Pricing: $125 Per Person
Group size: 8 – 50
Description: Give your desk a touch of style with a custom-designed wooden notepad box! Each person on your team will come up with a unique design, prepare it in our laser cutter software, then laser cut and etch their own custom box.
What you’ll learn:
You’ll learn basic design skills to turn a drawing or digital image into a unique design. Learn about laser cutters and watch your design emerge as our 90-watt laser blasts your design into a one-of-a-kind notepad. All materials needed are included in your event, including notepad box, paper, and assembly materials.
What to expect: After a brief tour of the Makerspace, you’ll dive into a 35-45 minute workshop to set up your design on our laser cutter software, with instructors ready to help with any questions and offer advice. Then, you’ll watch our laser cutters etch and cut your designs in real time!
*Note: for larger teams, there may not be time to etch every design during your event. We will etch any remaining designs after the event and they will be available for pickup or shipping within the week.

Where is Seattle Makers located?
Do attendees need any design experience for these workshops?
Nope! If you have no design background, we do a short design primer at the beginning of these events to teach you all the applicable skills you’ll need for the workshop. Our events are designed to be very beginner-friendly, so no prior experience is needed to participate.
Where can I park during my event?
Seattle Makers has our own private, reserved lot right outside our front door! In the uncommon event that this lot is full (usually due to a large group activity), there is usually available free street parking nearby. You can view our full location details and parking map here.
Where can I leave feedback about an event I recently attended?
We’d love to hear any feedback you have, so we can continue to improve future events! You can complete a feedback form here.
