Learn the basics of TIG welding
Learn the basics of TIG welding. We will start with safety/shop practices, including TIG welding equipment and material processing for weldments. No previous experience in welding or metalworking is needed. You will learn the basics of TIG welding, which emphasize making structurally sound welds and understanding different weldment positions and joints. This is a one-session workshop, meeting Saturdays 10 am – 1 pm. Each workshop is scheduled for only two students. The small class size provides a unique welding opportunity, as it encourages group discussion and sharing the studio space to facilitate learning while providing individual training and attention. Practice material provided. All welding equipment and personal protective gear are provided, as well as disposable face masks. Please wear jeans and closed-toe shoes/boots.
This class is designed to provide you with a valuable new skillset to take to the job market or to help you brush up on your welding skills.
