The studio’s laser cutter stopped functioning a few weeks back. It just so happens that a couple of artist friends came seeking help for their recent projects that involves laser cutting/engraving. After a few days of troubleshooting the laser with no avail, I decided to buy a cheaper and lower power laser to help my friends with their projects in the meantime.
The new unenclosed laser engraver required a large table surface, making room for it triggered an avalanche of cleanup work in the studio. It took more than a week of work and, after the cleanup, it’s now much closer to a functioning design studio that I had initially dreamed up to be! The cleaned up space will hopefully facilitate the projects I planned to complete in Q2 before moving back to Canada in the summer.
Another highlight this past week was picking up my first ever Guangcai artwork from a recent short-term course. The result looked great and I now have another masterpiece to be displayed in the studio! 😬
