Plasma Cutter Critters

Come learn how to create your own 3d abstract animal sculptures with our computer controlled plasma cutter! This class will take you through the process of how to use our plasma cutter which will easily cut sheet metal into one of our pre-picked design. Once you've cut out your shapes you'll learn how to use simple sheet metal bending tools to bring your critter to life! You'll leave with your adorable critter and the knowledge you need to get started with your next metal project.

The critters you'll be able to choose from include an elephant, a bull, a deer, and an owl.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Be sure to wear natural materials (no spandex, nylon, etc.) and long pants that cover your boots or close toed shoes. We'll provide the rest of the safety gear you'll need.
