Support Nate's Work: Help Replace Nightglade's Broken Laser

I'm Nate and I'm a full-time artist who creates original lasercut art pieces. I've hand-built hundreds of artworks in the last four years, primarily going into the hands of our community members in the Pacific Northwest.

Why I’m Fundraising

Unfortunately, my laser machine unexpectedly broke down while creating artwork for a multiday festival.

My minimum repair cost is $1,700 and a Glowforge Pro replacement is over $7,700 with shipping/tax.

How You Can Help

Donations are the best way to help me get running again.

I am offering rewards whether you support via GoFundMe or my Venmo (@nathan-gibbons):

** All tokens of appreciation are cumulative - collect ‘em all.**

Donations of any amount support Nightglade Designs directly by offsetting my laser repair or replacement.

I Have a Fantastic Problem

This Summer, community demand for my original works was nearly as much I could create from my Seattle workshop.

Currently, my temporary backup machinery is allowing me to still create enough art to attend the markets I’m committed to.

However with improved capacity, we will be able to:

Let’s do this together.

Thank You!

Even if you aren’t able to donate right now, I’d really appreciate it if you took a moment to share my fundraiser with your favorite humans.

Lots of love, Nate.

More details: All donations go directly to the repair/replacement of my laser equipment. None will be spent on promotional activities, advertisements, or personal expenses. Fundraising goals will increase as stretch goals are met. Final designs incentive designs are TBD, delivery time dependent on replacement/repair timing. Stay Tuned!
