Welding 101 is designed for beginning participants who want to learn how to join mild steel for functional and sculptural projects, repair tasks, and other creative metal working outlets. Your 101 class will focus and guide you through set-up and use of MIG, stick and TIG welders and other fabrication processes. You can expect to learn how to create strong, reliable joints on mild steel. You will also learn how to choose and use tools for cutting and finishing while your instructor guides you through selected projects designed to help you learn the process. Your instructor will make suggestions based on your interests, and help you formulate a plan to fabricate and explore your personal ideas during the second half of the program. We have a limited amount of material for you to work with to build specific individual projects. You may need to discuss materials, purchase and bring the stock particular to your needs.
