Design & Laser-Cut Your Own Custom Christmas Ornament!
Join us for a fun, beginner-friendly workshop where you’ll learn how to design and laser-cut a personalized wooden Christmas ornament—perfect for gifting, decorating, or showing off your creative skills.

We'll start by walking you through the basics of LightBurn. You’ll learn how to create shapes, add text, import graphics, and prepare your ornament design for cutting. After designing your piece, you’ll head to the laser cutter, where you'll be guided through the full cutting and engraving process—from material setup to safety procedures to final production.

By the end of the workshop, you’ll go home with a finished, custom-made ornament that you designed.
