INTRO TO WELDING

Event description

Hours: 9am- 3pm both days.

This course offers a hands-on introduction to MIG (GMAW) and Arc/Stick (MMA) welding, focusing on both the technical skills and creative potential of metalwork.

Students will also learn about the safety and preparation needed for welding and hands-on skills such as grinding, and sanding.
