Centennial Community Education

Beginner to Intermediate.

This class will introduce you to welding as you create a stone and metal sculpture for your garden or patio. TIG welding uses an inert gas and bonds metal without a wire feed, rod, or stick and is typically used for thinner materials such as pipe welding or where appearance is more important. Safety and introductory concepts for sculpture design will be covered.

Wear a long-sleeved shirt, long-legged jeans or other sturdy long-legged pants, close-toed leather shoes or boots. Bring a stone about the size of your fist, or one will be provided, leather work gloves, welding helmet if you have one, a lunch or snack and refillable water bottle.

Instructor will provide TIG welder and welding material, welding helmets, safety glasses, extra gloves, vise, anvil, angle grinder and bending tools.
