Some Like It Hot!
Metal Artistry in One Day
Metal is the new hot medium–literally!
Here’s your chance to feel the power of
cutting into hard steel to create beautiful
works of metal art. In this hands-on class
you will work with two types of cutting
processes, an oxy/acetylene torch and a
plasma cutter, and make two very different
pieces of metal art without the use of
welding. Finish your pieces using a blasting
cabinet, grinding and polishing, and have
the option of coloring using an acetylene
torch.
Cathy Hiatt
and
Diane Larson
are
working metal artists with 20 years of
experience between them. They show their
work at juried art shows in Colorado and
surrounding states and display and sell
through local galleries and co-ops. They also
create unique metal signage for businesses.
Safety is a priority in this class as students
will work with torches and sharp-edged
metal.
