SUMMARY:Metal Art: Plasma Cutting Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Get hands-on with plasma cutting and create cool metal art in this fun\, in-person intro class!\nMetal Art: Plasma Cutting Workshop \nEver wanted to cut through steel like it’s butter and walk away with something you made with your own hands? Now you can. In this 2-hour hands-on workshop\, you’ll learn to use a handheld plasma cutter to slice through steel and create your own one-of-a-kind metal art piece. No experience required.\nYou’ll start with a safety briefing and guided practice cuts on scrap metal before moving to your actual piece. Choose from a selection of bold pre-made stencil designs\, cut your shape\, clean up the edges\, and finish it off ready to hang or display. Sparks will fly. You’ll love it.\nClass is capped at 3 students to ensure everyone gets maximum hands-on time with the equipment. Prior welding experience is not required\, but students who’ve taken our Intro to MIG Welding class will feel right at home.\nWhat’s included: All materials\, safety gear\, and instruction\nTake home: Your finished metal art piece\nClass size: 3 students max\nDuration: 2 hours
