Rethink Mental Illness Manchester Group

A group of us tried our hand at laser cutting last Thursday 8th Nov as part of some activities we've had funded by the Greater Manchester Mental Health Foundation Trust's Wellbeing Fund.  Our tutor showed us how to design a simple key ring using a computer program called Inkscape, then demonstrating cutting the designs out onto wooden board using a laser cutter.
