Play With Lasers at MakeATX!

Overview 14 Lovely Attendees

About this FieldTrip

Join us at MakeATX, a laser cutting studio in the heart of the art scene in East Austin. During our workshop, each FieldTripper will make a small custom project with one of our three laser cutters - Patty Prince of Power, Ray el Rey de los Pew Pew, and Baby in the Corner. We’ll guide you through the process of material selection, file set-up and machine operation so that you can walk away with something totally unique, totally you, and made with love and lasers!

Feel free to come with a small sketch or digital drawing, or come with an open mind and clean slate and we’ll generate something together.

How to make the most of FieldTrips

The FieldTrips experience is defined not only by what the host has to share, but also by how we show up individually and collectively. The way we show up impacts our capacity to be moved, inspired, and activated.

Show up fully

Get ready to be immersed! Engage with smiles, nods, waves, emojis. Share in the chat. Get cozy. Turn off notifications. Sip your favorite beverage.

Stay curious

Wear your beginner’s hat. Go with the flow. Welcome the stumbles and fumbles. Congratulate yourself for trying. Keep going! 

Celebrate your host

Our hosts are members of the CreativeMornings community—just like you! Everyone comes to this with different backgrounds—a lot of our hosts have never done anything like this before! And we love that! Cheer them on when something goes awry and when it goes perfectly.

Support each other

We’re all figuring things out in real time. Celebrate, rather than critique emerging ideas. Cheer each other on as you try new things.  Try “Yes! And…” in conversation.

Not vibing?

It’s 100% okay when a FieldTrip does not resonate with you. Pop out quietly and try another experience later. Fill out the survey with your feedback (no dms to host or chat commentary, please.)
