Photo Gallery: First-Year Welding Students Forge Roses For Valentine’s Day
First, the rose is upcycled from electrode containers. Each container is flattened then each petal stenciled and taken to a plasma cutter. (Karl Upthagrove) 
Karl Upthagrove, Logan Lambert and Dustin Bry all demonstrate how the roses are created. Roses are priced one for $15 or two for $25. 
Each rose is spray painted and are sold around campus during Valentine’s Day and Mother’s Day for $15. A booth will be set up on Feb.13 and 14 near the Industrial Arts building in the courtyard. 
Logan Lambert forms the rose together before sending it to the tig welder. Each rose helps pay for first year certificates and buying equipment for the welding shop. 
Dustin Bry tig welds a rose for the Welding Department’s annual Valentine’s Day Rose Sale.
