Moy-Yan Neighbourhood House, and Weld Like a Girl founder, Jen Belsar, bring you this exciting workshop to be held in West Gippsland.
This 6 Week workshop in Garfield will teach you the basics of welding, metal sculpting and the safe use of power tools.
Some of the projects you'll be able to create are: sculptures, planters, signs etc.. the list is only limited by your imagination. You can also fix those household items that are lying around. The workshop is limited to 6 students only.
As a lifelong artist with a love of timber and steel Jen has been teaching beginners for many years now and it's great fun!
You'll be amazed at how quickly you pick up the skills, in fact you'll wonder how you ever survived without them!
All steel and welding equipment provided but you're welcome to bring along any interesting pieces of steel or stainless steel that you might like to use in your project.
If you have any power tools at home that you're not sure how to use, you can bring them along for Jen to teach you how to use them.
The workshop will run for 6 weeks from 5.30 - 7.30 on a Wednesday night.
Starts: February 5th 2025
Ends: March 12th 2025

Student reviews:
"Just had an incredible weekend learning to weld at Hammerhead Gallery in . I learnt so much during this two day course and met lovely people who love rusty stuff as much as I do. I've been meaning to learn to weld for a couple of decades, but for a myriad of reasons always felt a little intimidated. I wish I'd been to this class 20 years ago!! Such a relaxed learning environment surrounded by beautiful gardens and birds, max class size of four (so lots of time to get help from awesome teacher Jen) and women only. Fabulous. Once everyone got their first weld done we were all off and running. Nerves behind us. Endless possibilities ahead! Highly recommend."
