INTRO KIDS’ CLASS: DRAWING WITH SPARKS (WALL HANGING)
Remember color-by-number activity books? Here’s a similar concept using steel and welding. Kids “draw” a variety of designs on a piece of steel using GMAW (a.k.a. MIG, or wire welding) process.
First, kids will learn & practice GMAW (MIG welding). Next, each kid will plan out a design on their steel. Finally, kids weld a decorated wall hanging to take home. This is the perfect Kids’ Class as they will create a potential (upcoming) holiday gift. #lookingahead
Although our policy for this class is 6 and older, please contact us with questions or potential exceptions for children under 6. Only you know how mature your child is. #kidswhoweldarecool #teachyourchildrenwell

- Not only for your safety but also for the safety of others, we limit this class to a maximum of 12 participants.
- This class is co-ed.
- Ages: So far, we have taught kids as young as 5 years old; however, only you know how mature your child is. (If you have a mature child under the age of 6, please contact us so we can discuss the possibility of participation.)
- WHAT TO WEAR: jeans, cotton t-shirt/tank top and closed-toe shoes. Leather shoes or boots preferred; tennis shoes are OK. No sandals. In order to prevent lower extremity burns, please completely cover your feet and ankles. No shorts or capris.
- Water, tea and light refreshments are provided but families are welcome to bring their own snacks, lunches, etc.
Note: Since 2017, prices haven’t increased for our Kids’ Day Class Weld-By-Number. Our wish is that children explore the trades and get a taste of the world around them. As long as we can afford to do so, we will continue to provide introductory welding experiences for young people to see a few of the amazing options available to them. Parents, thank you for being open-minded and sending your littles our way.
