For UNCA students, faculty, &amp; staff only! (No experience required) Fab Nights are a series of weekly 3-hour workshops provided by the UNCA STEAM Studio. In each session, participants will receive our general safety orientation, a tour of the space, and an in-depth tutorial for the processes and tools required for each weeks' project. The instructors may be STEAM Studio staff or our well-trained student workers! Fab Nights are an especially great way for UNCA students to learn tools and machines at STEAM Studio without taking a for-credit class. All levels and disciplines are welcome to join! This class will provide an introduction to the laser and the laser software. We'll begin by talking about the laser and how it works, then we'll work with some graphic design software (Inkscape or Adobe Illustrator) to design a custom stamp. Once your design is done, we will start cutting each stamp out of rubber sheets and make custom hardwood handles that display the stamp's design! Before you attend, please familiarize yourself with our rules and procedures:<ol><li>Please wear closed-toe, closed-heel shoes to the workshop. If you arrive in any other footwear, we will not be allowed into the work space. </li><li>You must wear safety glasses in the work space. These will be provided by the STEAM Studio, and must remain on at all times while you are in the work space. </li><li>You must complete a safety contract before using tools and equipment.
