You’ve seen ‘em: giant metal flowers stuck in the ground… rakes and garden tools transformed into animals… rough cut sun and moon images hung on the front of houses and sheds… desert cacti that look almost real enough not to touch…. even dragons coming up out of the earth and tractors stuck in the “mud.” You’ve always wondered how they do that. You’ve even told yourself you’d like to try that. With this in mind, we provide supplies, and your imagination does the work as you create unique yard art.
All supplies are included; however, if you have a particular garden tool or other piece of steel/stainless steel you’d like to incorporate into your sculpture, feel free to bring it to class. While the sky is the limit, please remember you must be able to transport your masterpiece home!
Yard Art Details
ALL classes begin with safety! Participants are taught about welding safety, plasma cutting and, in this case, GMAW (MIG) welding. Demonstrations and practice time are provided.
So that everyone can get individual instruction and attention, class is limited to 12 people
This class is co-ed.
We provide all safety gear including safety glasses, welding jackets, gloves, welding helmets and hearing protection in order to keep you safe.
FYI: if you already have your own safety glasses that fit you perfectly, you are welcome to bring them. Otherwise, we provide standard ANSI-approved safety glasses.
WHAT TO WEAR: jeans, cotton t-shirt and closed-toe shoes (boots preferred; tennis shoes are OK; no sandals); please ensure ankles and feet are covered co capris). T-shirts/tank tops are fine as you will wear a welding jacket on top to protect your skin.
Afternoon snacks will be provided. Water is always available.
