Introduction to Plasma Torch: Cartoon Characters in Steel
In this class, students will be able to pick a simple, well-known character from fiction (cartoon characters preferred) and create a 2D layered metal representation of them. Students will plasma cut steel and use GMAW (MIG) welding to build up their design.
The pieces can be smoothed and polished, then sprayed with clear coat to prevent rust. An optional wall hanging hook can be added as well.
Don’t fancy drawing? No need to fear. Templates will be provided for students who don’t want to attempt their own designs.
