Introduction to Artistic Welding

Looking for a deeper dive into the world of welding and metal sculpture? This two-day workshop is a hands-on, immersive experience designed for curious beginners, adventurous makers, and creative souls of all backgrounds—no experience required.

Over the course of two full days in the studio, you’ll learn the basics of MIG welding, cutting, bending, grinding, and shaping metal—plus how to use every tool safely and confidently. Start with a small practice project, then choose from four original sculpture designs to bring to life.

With just 4 students per class, you’ll get plenty of one-on-one guidance. By Sunday afternoon, you’ll head home with your own finished metal sculpture—and a set of seriously satisfying new skills.

Why learn to weld?

Ready to dive into artistic welding—whether for fun, creative release, or the start of something bigger?

When you know how to shape metal, you can build just about anything: a bold sculpture, custom garden art, a one-of-a-kind table—or even a new career.

Welding isn’t just sparks and steel. It’s creativity in motion—hands-on, expressive, and surprisingly meditative. You don’t need to be in a factory or an art school to do this.

In these workshops, you’ll get messy, explore design, learn real skills, and walk away with the confidence to keep going. Small class size, full support, and practical tips—even for setting up at home.

Let’s fire it up.

Heads up: artistic welding is hands-on and physically active. Expect to spend time on your feet, reaching, handling tools like hammers and tin snips, and operating equipment such as handheld grinders, plasma cutters, and weld wands. We’ll kick things off with a thorough safety walkthrough and detailed instruction on how to use all tools and machines properly. Fume extractors help keep dust and fumes from plasma cutting, welding, and grinding under control—but let’s be real, metalworking is gritty by nature. A little dirt comes with the territory!
