Handprint Turkeys (1:30pm-4pm)

Please accept our apologies as our website is having issues. On some browsers, class times may be incorrect. This particular class meets from 1:30pm-4pm, despite what may appear on the registration screen. Thank you in advance for your understanding.Remember 1st grade?  your handprints traced and cut out on thick stock paper, complete with glued-on feathers, covered in paint… well, this is the modern version. 🙂

We will trace your handprint onto sheet metal and you will use a plasma cutter (light saber) to cut out the shape, then weld on “feathers” and other accessories. Seriously, people, we are grateful for the opportunity to revisit a Thanksgiving tradition.

• ALL classes begin with safety! Participants will be taught about welding safety, plasma cutting and GMAW (MIG welding). Demonstrations and practice time are provided.
• We provide a small group setting of no more than 10 people so that everyone can get the individual instruction and attention they need.
• We provide all safety gear including safety glasses, welding jackets, gloves and welding helmets.
• This class is co-ed.
• Children are permitted to register; so far, we have taught kids as young as 5 years old but only you know how mature your child is. (If you have a mature child under the age of 7, please contact us so we can discuss the possibility of participation.) Children under the age of 14 are asked to register and participate with an adult.
• WHAT TO WEAR: jeans, cotton t-shirt and closed-toe shoes (leather shoes or boots preferred; tennis shoes are OK; no sandals); please ensure ankles and feet are completely covered.  T-shirts or tank tops are fine as you will be wearing a welding jacket on top.
• FYI: if you already have your own safety glasses that fit you perfectly, you are welcome to bring them. Otherwise, we provide standard ANSI-approved safety glasses that are yours to take home.
• Water, tea and light refreshments will be provided.
