This weekend workshop will focus on MIG and Arc welding processes. Designed for those interested in an introduction to welding, as well as experienced metal artists who would like to learn about the equipment, the workshop will consist of presentations, demonstrations and hands-on practice. The emphasis will be on welding safety, and proper set-up and maintenance of the equipment. Basic welding techniques will be practiced and then applied to simple projects.
Note: Please wear a long-sleeved shirt and long pants (both 100% cotton) and closed-toe shoes. The sculpture studio will provide welding gloves and helmets for in-class use. This course does not include access to the SVA Sculpture Center.
