I’m an architect, maker, and metal shop volunteer at Clear Creek Makerspace, where I teach MIG 101.My background is in architecture, so I’m always thinking about how materials, structure, craft, and design come together. Outside of my professional work, I enjoy making across a range of mediums, including metal, wood, craft, and painting. I like the process of taking an idea, getting hands-on with it, and figuring things out along the way.As the one of the MIG 101 instructors, my goal is to help people feel comfortable, safe, and confident getting started with welding. Whether you are completely new to metalwork or looking to add another skill to your creative toolbox, I’m excited to help you learn the basics and start building. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/wheat-ridge/solid-core-mig-welding-gmaw-for-beginners-w-alec/100001993039616143 - **Event Categories**: workshops, art, fine-arts, drawing-painting - **Slot details of has slots**: - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Age Limit: 18+ - Duration: 1 hour 30 minutes - Location: 9110 W 44th Ave - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 65.87, max: 65.87, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Wheat Ridge - **state**: CO - **country**: United States - **location**: 9110 W 44th Ave - **lat**: 39.7777121 - **long**: -105.0988138 - **full address**: 9110 W 44th Ave, 9110 West 44th Avenue, Wheat Ridge, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Solid Core MIG Welding (GMAW) for Beginners w/ Alec - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events1/banners/6a56b5b54bc2e347077a287ba72c61433b3848afb617f8fd2f6c6ff645411ab6-rimg-w1200-h600-dc5d7fa4-gmir.jpg?v=1783357443 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Solid Core MIG Welding (GMAW) for Beginners w/ Alec being held? - **A:** Solid Core MIG Welding (GMAW) for Beginners w/ Alec takes place on Sun, 19 Jul, 2026 at 06:00 pm to Sun, 30 Aug, 2026 at 07:30 pm at 9110 W 44th Ave, 9110 West 44th Avenue, Wheat Ridge, United States. - **Q**: Is there an age restriction for Solid Core MIG Welding (GMAW) for Beginners w/ Alec? - **A:** Solid Core MIG Welding (GMAW) for Beginners w/ Alec is strictly for guests aged 18 and above.
