Learn the basics of laser cutting and explore the different applications that it has in various industries! We’ll begin by creating a design in Adobe Illustrator and then using the Universal Laser Systems laser cutter to engrave, cut, or raster the material. You will gain hands-on experience with setting up the laser cutter, selecting the appropriate materials, and adjusting the settings for different tasks. By the end of the workshop, you will have a personalized creation!

Peter Capuano (Director of Literary and Cultural Studies; Faculty Fellow, Center for Digital Research in the Humanities; Professor, Department of English) will join us for an informal conversation about the DH literary analysis methods used in his work. Capuano will be giving a formal talk in the UVA English Department that same day on “On the Mutuality of Method: Distant, Middle, and Close Reading in Dickens’s Idiomatic Imagination”.
