NEW! Creative Welding

This class will teach you how to TIG weld and make a sculpture from scrap metal. This will require working your imagination and creativity to the max. TIG stands for Tungsten Inert Gas. The gas we use is argon. This type of welding bonds metal to metal without the use of rods, sticks or wire feeds. Local artist Greg Kraft will cover safety as well as introductory concepts of sculpture design. Students should wear long sleeved cotton shirts, jeans or heavy-duty work pants, closed toe leather shoes or boots.

Students should wear a long sleeved cotton shirt, jeans or heavy-duty work pants, closed toe leather shoes or boots. Bring leather work gloves, a stone about the size of your fist, welding gear if you have it and your creativity!   A $30 supply fee should be given to the instructor on the day of the class.
