The Art Car & Art Bike Workshops are a series of educational outreach for individuals interested in building art cars or art bikes. Experienced art car artists teach the introductory skills of art construction and design found in many art cars: welding, foam sculpting, and LED lighting. These workshops introduce participants to new skills but also encourage and provide the tools for the creation of new creative communities and a network within which students may find like minded individuals for future projects. Open to participants of all skill and experience levels.
Saturday, February 11: Introduction to MIG Welding | Instructor: Julian Luna
An introductory class on MIG welding resulting in the creation of a steel planter for each student to take home. The class begins with an introduction to tools and safety, followed by a demonstration of how to weld practice beads. The students are then split into pairs to each welder and monitored by the instructor and assistants for a guided work session demonstrating various essential clamping and welding techniques in the process.
$40 per participant. Limited to 30 participants.
