Laser etched skateboards

Engrave a bare skateboard deck using a laser and inspiration drawn from Queensland skate culture.

Learn the process of laser-engraving through a one-of-a-kind workshop where you can custom etch your very own skate deck. Lasers offer a non-contact method of marking where a focused beam is used to create indelible, high-contrast graphics on a surface.

In this workshop, you will learn basic digital design skills, including working with raster and vector images, as well as practical considerations for translating digital imagery onto an actual skateboard deck. This workshop is inspired by Queensland skate culture.

The ticket price includes a rideable, 9-ply maple skate deck. Trucks, wheels and grip tape are not provided as part of this workshop.
