Intro to Welding (2023)

This class is designed to introduce students to the process of MIG welding, an easy-to-learn type of welding most often used in the manufacture of sculptures, buildings, and other heavy metal weldments. You will learn how to weld different types of shapes and different types of joints together, and how to use the large range of supporting equipment (brushes, sanders, grinders, etc.) and processes that come with welding.

Class Goals

The goal of this class will be to train a student to the point where they can weld on Factory 3 equipment safely and independently.
