Take your welding skills to the next level in this 4-hour workshop

If you took our Intro to Welding class, you're ready to apply and grow the skills you learned in this 4-hour workshop. You'll learn more MIG welding techniques as the instructor walks you through a small-scale project that teaches the techniques needed to build with mild steel. You'll leave with practical skills for welding the steel structures, machines, and sculptures that you really want to make.
