Makerspace Workshops
The Makerspace hosts workshops featuring different projects throughout the year.
CNC Carved Wood Sign
Use our Onefinity CNC Router to carve your own custom hardwood sign. The workshop
costs $100 per sign and is open to the public (ages 12+ with parent or guardian).
All materials are provided for a sign up to 24" x 12", but participants should bring
their own design or design idea. If you have questions about the design, you can send
your design ahead of time to makerspace@corning-cc.edu. Depending on the design, CNC
carving may extend later into the afternoon. If you want to make your own carved wooden
sign but need to do it at a different time, you can also arrange that by email.
Saturday, December 20, 10:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m.
Laser Engraved LED Mirrors
Light up the holidays! Laser engrave a design of your choice on a 6-inch round mirror mounted in a USB-powered lighted beechwood stand. Participants should bring their own design idea to the workshop (can be a digital photo, text, or a hand-drawn design). The workshop costs $25 per person and is open to the public (ages 8+ with parent or guardian). The 3D printed mirror frame will be pre-printed. Both the mirror and the wood stand can be engraved.
