Welding is a very useful skill yet many find it intimidating. This class will eliminate the fear factor in a hands-on environment geared toward creating artistic pieces. You will learn basic metal fabrication techniques and use of equipment such as MIG welders, grinders, chop saws, and other metal-working tools – everything you need to learn to build your own sculpture. You can choose to make artwork for your yard or an African mask-style wall sculpture. Materials will be steel and/or found metal. Safety instruction and safety gear included.

Learn TIG welding, an arc welding process that uses non-consumable tungsten electrode to produce the weld.  You will learn metal and joint preparation, use of filler rod andTIG specific welding skills. TIG welding produces more precise, cleaner welds resulting in less cleanup of your weld, and is useful when working with panels, sheet metal and lighter materials.  You will practice your new skills under supervision to create a piece of wall or yard art from sheet and scrap metal. 

Wear long sleeve shirt, long pants and closed toe shoes.

Ever wonder where folks get those oddball bicycles?  They make them!  Sanjay Sharma, bicycle artist will show you examples and help you with your design to chop, drop, extend, lengthen or otherwise modify your bike frame.  You'll leave with a design and a resource list and may come back for the Metals Workday on 4/5 to complete your bicycle with assistance.  Already have a bicycle and your additional parts?  Bring them with you and you'll go home with an entirely new bike!
