FFA as an Art Form

Welding isn’t typically an art form

FFA as an Art Form


February 2009

Welding isn’t typically an art form, but Turtle Lake (Wis.) FFA member Monica Lutz has taken it to new heights.

Her FFA advisor Don Dipprey suggested that she create a life-size version of the FFA emblem out of steel, so Monica started the project by taking a photo of the FFA emblem and projecting it onto sheet metal. After tracing the design, she cut out each individual piece of the emblem with a plasma cutter, then arc-welded the emblem together with the help of fellow member Josh Thornwall.

Sold during the National FFA Alumni auction, the emblem was then donated to the National FFA Center, where it is now on display in the front lobby.
