Join us at the Parker Williams Library Innovation Lab for our Laser Cutter Orientation!
This orientation session will introduce participants to the laser-cutting services we offer at the library. Those who complete the orientation will then be able to request supervised time to use a laser cutter at any HCPL branch that has one. Attending this orientation is mandatory before patrons can request time to use a laser cutter in the future.
This event is open to all ages. Children ages 12 and under must be accompanied by an adult guardian.
Patrons are not required to attend a Cricut Orientation to attend this craft.
Learn how to use the Cricut Maker’s Print and Cut Function with this fun craft! Patrons will learn how to use Cricut Print-and-Cut, then get to choose from a set of premade designs to color in for a personalized touch.
Supplies are limited. Registration is required!
