Advanced Fabrication Techniques: MIG and Plasma

If you've completed an oxy-acetylene sculpture class with us and have gained basic welding proficiency, this advanced class gives you the opportunity to refine your fabrication skills by building a functional piece using new techniques and tools. You'll be introduced to MIG welding and hand plasma cutting to complete your piece and you'll learn fixture fabrication to ensure your finished project is plumb, level, and square. With these new equipment options and techniques you can easily replicate quality projects with speed and efficiency. If you're not sure if you're ready for this class, discuss with your OA Sculpture instructor.

Instructor: Denise “Seven” Bailey has over decade of experience in welding and metal fabrication. As creative as she is precise, she has fabricated everything from custom art installations to high-volume shop orders to top-secret projects for NASA. She has held the roles of Production Manager and Production Planner, showing that she’s just as proficient without a torch in hand. Seven is the Senior Welding Instructor at Dunwoody College of Technology, where she has had the opportunity to develop a successful new curriculum for the program and is mentoring new instructors in its implementation. This past year Seven has also added Certified Welding Inspector to her hefty belt.
