  In this introductory course you will learn how to fabricate in metal and use different tools to build a metal flower. In this class you'll use a plasma cutter to cut your pieces, create holes with a drill press, and clean them with the angle grinder or bench grinder and weld them together.

  Be advised: You must be wearing closed-toe shoes, long pants, and a long-sleeve shirt. Cotton and leather clothing only (no polyester). If you are not dressed appropriately, you will not be able to participate in the class. Please also be sure to bring a bottle of water with you and reading glasses (if needed)!

  The class is taught by Gabi Madrid, a local Atlanta artist. Gabi Madrid is a creative fabricator and fine artist based in Atlanta, GA. In 2018, they began working with blacksmiths at the Goat Farm Arts Center and learned to forge, weld, and fabricate in metal. Following that, they worked in cabinetry and construction, which led them to building sets for movies and TV shows. After leaving the film industry, Madrid began working on their own projects and a teaching career. This led them to become an instructor at local makerspaces and teach others how to weld and build their own projects. Learn more about Gabi at https://www.gabimadrid.com/
