Class Description

Hobby Welding will provide a fun, hands-on learning experience to anyone interested in welding, from the curious novice welder to those who want to brush up on their existing skills.

While welding is a necessary skill for anyone in metalworking, it can be a rewarding pastime for those who enjoy those do-it-yourself projects and repairs. There are so many things you can create or restore with welding.

During this three-hour, six-week Hobby Welding class individuals will gain an understanding of welding safety practices, familiarize themselves with equipment and metals, and how to alter them for certain purposes. Students will choose which welding technique they want to master; MIG, TIG, or Stick, and develop the skills needed to explore projects that can be made or repaired at home including metal artistry, auto body, a welding cart, fire pit, hand railing, go-cart, a barbecue, truck racks, yard art, and much more. You will be surprised at how useful welding can be!

All welding clothing will be provided. However, students should wear cotton long sleeves shirts, long pants, closed-toed leather boots or shoes (no tennis shoes), and bring a baseball-style hat and leather gloves (need not be welding gloves.)
