Digital Paper Crafts at Guildford Library 27 January 10.00am-12.30pm

Save and bring your Christmas cards, and learn how to use our digital paper cutter to turn them into many new things, including crowns, baubles and cards. .

An additional draw, on the same day in the library: "Trotec Laser will bring the Speedy 100 CO2 laser cutter to the event. It has a 600 x 300 mm working area and is capable of cutting or engraving intricate designs on almost any organic material including card, paper, plastics (not PVC), glass and stone. The easy-to-use JobControl software simplifies the process of sending designs which have been created in CorelDraw, or imported from other CAD or DTP software, directly to the laser machine. Visitors to the event can see what's possible when processing paper and other organic materials with a Trotec laser cutter, and will even have the opportunity to bring along their own ideas to try on the Speedy 100."

Cost £3. Please go to https://digitalpapercrafts.eventbrite.co.uk to book a place.
