Laser Branding Workshop - Beginner - 1 day - One to One
Description
Brand your own beautiful products or set up a business lasering branding for other crafters and companies. There is a huge market out there for branding/personalised/customised products. Learn the skills to design and laser and get support as you take your skills away and get started at home. You'll be addicted to lasering with just one workshop. The options and possibilities are mind blowing! You will spend the day designing and lasering your own pieces. We will explore a variety of materials and work in 2D and relief and even 3D too! You don't need any prior knowledge or experience as I will take you through every step. I know you will be really impressed and proud of everything you produce, and you'll be coming away with a range of pieces. The absolute joy of lasering is that you can create quality, precision work from just an idea. The laser cutter does all the hard work for you! The workshop involves learning to: - Use drawing software (CAD) to create designs. - Set up and send jobs to the Laser. - Experiment with different materials and thicknesses that can be lasered. - Post laser finishes and construction of any multi component pieces/3D. Just a warning ... there are so many possibilities with this process, you wont want to stop, its a bit addictive! This workshop is a guaranteed one to one session so that I can tailor the workshop to your interests and needs as an individual. You can achieve so much this way. Develop skills to start a new business, take up a new hobby or craft for the joy of it…I can ensure the day progresses the way you want it to. I teach these courses using a CO2 laser and Adobe Illustrator software. The skills are transferable for other lasers and software however is it worth noting that I do not use Light Burn. A one-night self-catering stay is available for free with this booking in our onsite retro caravan (subject to availability). Please enquire via the 'message the tutor' button below. All courses, workshops and kits come with free support afterwards. I love to see what my students and fellow crafters are up to and really enjoy answering questions or helping if I can. So any booking isn’t just for the day it’s the start of a crafting friendship! I do my very best to keep all my listings up to date with availability. Unfortunately, at busy periods there can be a delay so if there is a specific date you need, please feel free to check before booking to avoid disappointment.

Maker
Rachel Ellen – Craftsperson & Tutor Trained as a graphic designer, I spent 15 years teaching Art & Design and Design Technology, sharing my love of creativity with students of all ages. Craft has always been my passion, not just for the joy it brings but for the skills, confidence, and sense of accomplishment it fosters. Now based in the beautiful Shropshire hills, I feel privileged to welcome crafters from across the UK and beyond to my studio—and now online—to explore traditional and contemporary craft techniques. My teaching is all about supporting each person’s creative journey in a way that works for them, focusing on skill development, sustainability, and making long-lasting pieces. Thoughtful material choices and minimising waste are at the heart of my practice, ensuring that craft remains both joyful and responsible for generations to come.

FAQs
All your materials, endless tea and coffee and camping accommodation for 'One to One' bookings (this may also be available for other bookings subject to availability - please enquire).
I only take individual bookings so there will only be the people you choose to book for! This means I can make sure the workshop is exactly what individuals and groups want and everyone gets more out of it.
I normally start at 0930hrs but as I only take individual bookings I can be flexible with timings (subject to availability) to suit you.
No need to bring anything with you for your course or workshop unless you want to bring examples or inspiration ... but there are plenty of both here in the studio (surrounded by the beautiful Shropshire Hills) so you can just bring your lovely self!
There is a cute retro caravan that sleeps 1-2 people available onsite (The Old School Campsite) free of charge for 'one to one' bookings (subject to availability). There are also glamping bell tents in the summer and camping pitches available onsite. If camping isn't for you (!) there are lovely holiday cottages at 'Shelve Holidays' or a luxury cabin at 'Heather and Stone'.
