Welding and Fabrication

This workshop will focus on the fundamentals of welding and steel fabrication for creating functional pieces and sculpture. We will make templates; learn about MIG/TIG welding and plasma cutting; explore steel’s plasticity with various bending and shaping tools, such as oxy-acetylene torch, swage blocks, slip roller, bending brake and English wheel; and work with other tools and machines. By the end of the session, each student will have fabricated a larger project showcasing all of their creativity and new metalworking skills. All levels.
