Seattle Makers

Take your fall decor to the next level with a laser-engraved pumpkin! You bring your idea or design and we'll help set up the laser cutters with a rotary machine so that you can etch your image right onto your favorite little gourd.

Cost of attending covers the pumpkin so please don't bring one of your own! These will be as symmetrical as possible and about 5-6 inches in diameter so they fit just right in our rotary setup.

What we'll provide: pumpkins, laser cutter with rotary setup, machine time, and camaraderie with your fellow pumpkin etchers.
What you should bring: A vector file, PNG, and/or drawing of the image you want to engrave into your pumpkin. Please choose high contrast, preferably black and white designs. We can also help grab something online on the day of.
Who it's for: Laser beginners to experts, ages 8+ (ages 8-16 must have guardian present).
Cost: $25 for those with a Seattle Makers membership, $35 for those without.
Parking: Building parking is limited. There is more around the corner at the park off the intersection of 17th Ave W and W Barret Street where there is another parking lot. Street parking is available but usually taken in the immediate area. If you are willing to walk across the bridge crossing the tracks, there is often street parking on the other side along 20th Ave W. Beware the nearby 2-hour parking, they are vigilant.

Can't wait to see what you create! 🎃

Are you a cosplayer? Interested in conventions, fandom events, ren faires and other cosplay adjacent events? Join us every other Thursday at the Cosplay meetup at Seattle Makers!

This is a once every other week event for cosplayers, costumers, and anyone interested in the craft to meet up, talk con plans, collaborate and bounce ideas off of each other! You can hang out and ask people what they’re working on, or bring a craft of your own to work on. Anyone of any skill level can join. Bonus meetups will be held before major west coast cons or by popular demand. Let’s help each other collaborate and soften the blow of con crunch a tiny bit!

Hope to see you there!
