Artistic Welding Workshop
$379 + tax | 2 Sessions of Creative Firepower
Get ready to spark your imagination (and a few arcs)! In this 2 session intensive workshop, you’ll dive into the world of artistic welding—where heat, steel, and creativity collide. Whether you’re brand new to metalwork or already a maker looking to level up, this hands-on experience will leave you fired up and full of new skills.
Here’s what you’ll be playing with (safely, of course):
MIG welding basics and beyond
Metal shaping and texturing using hammers, and jigs
Cutting, grinding, fitting, and bending steel into creative form
Proper and safe use of power tools and welding equipment
This is not a certification course—this is where your metal art journey begins. You’ll walk away with new skills, new confidence, and probably a few sparks on your boots (okay, hopefully not literally).
Small group size = plenty of instructor time and guidance tailored to your experience level. Let us know your background when you register—we’ll meet you where you’re at and help you grow from there.
Prerequisites: No prior welding experience is necessary. This workshop is suitable for beginners who want to learn basic welding techniques in a short amount of time.
Equipment: All necessary welding equipment and materials will be provided, including a MIG welder, welding helmet, gloves, and welding wire. Participants are encouraged to wear long-sleeved cotton clothing and closed-toe shoes for safety.
Participants will be given the choice from 3 fun artistic projects to create.
1. A decorative garden stake
2. A Metal Bird Sculpture
3. A hanging metal Sculpture.
