Lasercutting Textiles Inspiration
I’m thinking about lasercutting and paper/origami for wearables use, so here are some images along that vein
A friend of mine (Alex Wolfe) did a big project last year with laser-cut origami wearables that I really loved, and there are some really cool ways to lasercut perforations to fold paper along.

The next few images are a textiles workshop at the Bergen National Academy for Fine Arts on lasercut fabric for spaces:

This is my own work, so it’s sort of cheating, but I’ve previously used lasercut plastic in two pieces. They turned out really well so it’s something I’m definitely interested in doing again.
