Make Your Own Slate Sign - The Making Rooms - Blackburn - 10am - 12noon - 31/8/19

Aug, 30 2019


~At a very young age children are encouraged to learn a craft. They may start with painting and develop it from there on in. As they reach their teenage years their perspective of learning has changed. Now they see it as a means to help others and when they reach young adulthood they enter an artistic career which is leant on helping the welfare of others.

One particular skill could be learning to make you own slate sign. Sounds simple at first but there is much more to it and once accomplished you could assist in directing the public to either business names or the addresses of homes.

“Make Your Own Slate Sign” takes place tomorrow, Saturday  31st August 2019 between the hours of 10am - 12noon at The Making Rooms, 1, Exchange Street, Blackburn.

The workshop will help learners to be skilled in the following three areas:-

  1.  Computer Aided Design (beginner level )
  2. How to use a laser cutter to etch your design
  3. How to drill slate
