So much has happened since my last post! After spending an entire day trying to cut a detailed map by hand (horrid), I booked myself in for a tutorial on the laser cutter at the DCA. And I am in love. The tutorial took about an hour and just taught me the basics to the laser cutter at the DCA. I wasn't planning on spending long there but ended up staying for about 7 hours! I had to scan the images from my sketchbook then edit them so that the lines were super clear and then, with the help of my tutor Dean, changed them to vector files. I had no idea until I had to do it but this just means that the laser knows what lines to follow when it is cutting.
The photos are a few of the cuts I did on my first time there. I mainly used paper, I did attempt to cut into a photograph and the photo just above is a train ticket cut into. I was so amazed by the machine that I took a video:
