Sometimes referred to as “art” welding, oxyacetylene welding is one of the most versatile welding systems that, properly set up, can weld most metals together through brazing and welding. With the addition of a cutting torch, steel can be “sawed” through with the flame. This class will train students to control the torch in order to make beautiful welds. Students will practice their skills by creating a 3 dimensional sculpture out of welding rod that will be either a geometric or animal form. Students will also learn about flame and gas safety, about how to set up the welder and how to go about setting up their own system at home.

All supplies included. Class size limited to 5.

Taught by Sam, this class meets for 4 weeks in the Multi-Purpose studio

Each week, Sam will teach you different welding techniques by creating small projects out of mild steel, such as a hand rake or a wine rack. Discussions will include welding safety, settings, the positives and negatives of different welding techniques, and how to get started with your own machine.

All supplies included.

Taught by Sam, this class meets in the Multi-Purpose Studios for 3 Friday evenings from 5 - 8pm
