uhmagosh… Is there a cooler way to use scrap metal than to follow the wisdom of quilters around the world? No scrap left behind… weld together bits of scrap sheet metal to form a crazy quilt. Not only will you make an amazing piece but also upcycle (metal) fabric to its fullest potential. Because, honestly, who can resist another quilt?
First, peek at all the scrap metal fabric. Next, find or construct a metal frame. Organize your thoughts or let creative juices low in order to fabricate a metal quilt. Throw metal on the floor to see where it lands! Bend or cut metal in order to it into your puzzle. Weld bits to your frame even if you wind up welding over them. Take a chance to play!
Details
- ALL classes begin with safety! Participants are taught about welding safety, plasma cutting and GMAW (MIG welding). Demonstrations and practice time are provided.
- So that everyone gets individual instruction and attention, this class is limited to 12 people.
- We provide all safety gear including safety glasses, welding jackets, gloves and welding helmets in order to keep you safe.
- This class is co-ed.
- Children are permitted to register; so far, we have taught kids as young as 5 years old but only you know how mature your child is. (If you have a mature child under the age of 7, please contact us so we can discuss the possibility of participation.) Children under the age of 14 are asked to register and participate together with an adult unless they have previously taken a welding class with us.
- WHAT TO WEAR: jeans, cotton t-shirt and closed-toe shoes (leather shoes/boots preferred; tennis shoes are OK; no sandals); please ensure ankles and feet are completely covered. T-shirts or tank tops are fine as you will be wearing a welding jacket on top.
- FYI: if you already have your own safety glasses that fit you perfectly, you are welcome to bring them. Otherwise, we provide standard ANSI-approved safety glasses that are yours to take home.
- Water, tea and light refreshments will be provided.
