Capacity: 8 participants
This half-day workshop brings together practitioners, researchers, educators, and students that design, research, and engage in making activities to have fun and create artifacts using a laser cutter. Participants will engage in an interactive discussion around their own making practices and experiences. Together we aim to identify existing considerations and practices that remain to be articulated around feelings and making. That is, what does it feel or look like when making serves as a form of personal expression, or as an extension of being? How might making create and support somatic openings that frame making less as an activity toward production, but rather, an end in itself–for fun?
Space is limited to 8 participants not including children or youth who are welcome.
