Another session of the basic operation and safety training class has been scheduled for Tuesday, September 29, starting at 6:30pm. The class is free, and once you’ve completed the class you’ll be eligible to sign up for time on the laser, which is also free for art and personal projects.

The class starts with 90 minutes or so of classroom instruction, which is followed by practical hands-on exercises in the laser room. The laser room is small, so enrollment is strictly limited. Email class@colaser.org to sign up for your spot in the class.

This will very likely be the last class before YOUtopia, so if you have a project in mind for the regional event, this class is for you!

The last set of classes filled up and more, so I’ve scheduled two more dates for laser training classes:

Saturday afternoon, June 6, at 1pm

Monday evening, June 8, at 6pm.

Same deal as last time. Email class@colaser.org to sign up.

Basic laser operation and safety classes are scheduled for Sunday afternoon, May 31, at 1pm and Monday evening, June 1, at 6pm.

Please email me class@colaser.org to reserve your place in either session of the class. Because the laser room is small, the class size is limited to 6. Let me know which class you’d prefer and whether you could attend the other class if your preferred class is already full.

Expect about 90 minutes in the classroom, followed by practical hands-on exercises in the laser room. Once you complete the class, you’ll be able to schedule time on the laser to do your own projects.

Update: Thursday’s class is full already. I will accept a few wait-list entries. More classes will be scheduled soon.

I’ll be offering a series of training classes in laser operation, starting as soon as possible after the laser is up and running. I hope that will be in early August. To start with, we’ll concentrate on the important safety rules that everybody has to know, basic understanding of the workflow to produce work on the laser, and the detailed steps to get this particular laser to do its tricks for you. Attendance at one of these basic training classes will be mandatory for anybody wishing to use the laser.

Later on, I hope to have some more advanced classes and workshops, if people are interested.

I will try to offer a variety of times: daytime, evening, weekday, weekend. Comments on which time slots are best would be welcome.

Once the details have been arranged, I’ll let you know how to sign up for a class. The lab is tiny, so class size will be limited, and you’ll have to sign up in advance.
