The Laser Cutting Room

Chopsticks Laser shop

Creativity and technology working together

Our Laser Cutting Room is a dedicated creative space where adults with learning disabilities can bring their ideas to life through the power of modern design and technology. Equipped with a high-quality laser cutting machine, the room offers a safe and supported environment for making unique, handmade products that are proudly sold in our shop and online.

Empowerment Through Creativity

We believe that creativity builds confidence. In the Laser Cutting Room, our members learn new skills in digital design, materials handling and craftsmanship, with guidance from our support team.

Every product reflects skill, growth and inclusion. When you purchase from our collection you’re buying a product that supports meaningful work and helps people build independence.

A Safe, Supported Environment

Our workspace is designed to be accessible, inclusive, and welcoming. Staff provide hands-on support throughout the process from prepping materials, creating designs, finishing the products and packaging them up ready to be sold.
