Are you curious about welding but not sure which process is right for you? In this class, students will be introduced to the theory and practice of joining metals and making stuff!We’ll explain and demonstrate the three common welding processes (MIG, TIG, and stick welding) and provide guidance on the pros and cons for various projects/applications. We’ll spend time talking through the nuts and bolts of welding safety, the necessary equipment, equipment setup, and the actual skilled practice of welding.Class time will be a combination of primarily classroom-based discussion/demonstration followed by a hands-on opportunity to run some beads and melt some metal. We’ll demonstrate and talk about stick welding during the classroom portion of the class, but the practical portion will primarily be an opportunity to try out MIG and TIG.*Class environment: All people are welcome in this class, and an active effort will be made to be inclusive to all people.
