WELCOME TO WELDING 101! 

Hedron Studio works with students of all experience levels: whether you have spent hours welding or haven't picked up a tool in your life, we will get you comfortable in the metal shop.  Students are introduced to the metal shop with tool demonstrations and time to practice fabrication and tool skills. In the class we cover MIG welding, measuring, metal preparation, clamping, cutting, grinding, safety procedures, polishing and finishing techniques for your projects.  Students are encouraged to choose a project of their own design to complete in the class - there will be a variety of steel available for students use, including square tubing, round tube, flat bar, angle iron and rods. Included in the price are all studio consumables and materials for your projects.

We also will talk about what you can expect from your materials and how to start "thinking in metal".  With a strong focus on safety and PPE, you will feel confident establishing a safe practice in the shop.  Students always leave class with something they have designed and welded themselves.

 There are no prerequisites to take this class.  Beginners welcome!

All classes are priced with a sliding-scale format. To learn more about how to self-select your price level, please refer to this discussion of how to choose your sliding-scale number. Every price level receives exactly the same workshop experience!
