This course will provide students with the fundamental skills of Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) welding. TIG welding is a precise, clean process that allows the user to work with a greater variety of materials including mild steel, stainless steel, bronze, and aluminum. (We will be working in mild steel, but if students should desire to learn about TIG welding other metals in particular, this can be arranged after a safety consultation.) The first day of class will focus on getting familiar with TIG welding and working with mild steel to understand the nuances of the process. On day two, students will build upon their skills by expanding the materials catalog and introducing metal cutting processes.
 
No previous experience necessary—this is a great opportunity to explore TIG welding for the first time. All materials and tools will be provided; students will leave the workshop with a firm understanding of TIG welding and a small personal project.

Spend a weekend learning the basics of metalworking: ripping through steel with gas torches and fusing it back together with a 10,000° electrical arc! This two-day workshop will introduce students to MIG welding, the oxygen-acetylene torch, various metal saws, and the grinder. By the end of the first day you will be able to heat, cut, join, bend, and polish. On the second day you will have the full day to use your new skills creating a project to take home. No previous experience necessary—this is a great opportunity to explore welding for the first time. Materials and tools will be provided.

In this course, students will learn the basics of forging in semi precious metals to create their own hammered bracelets. Non-ferrous metals that are properly annealed with heat can be forged at room temperature which results in much safer and more controllable smithing. Students will be introduced to jewelry scale blacksmithing techniques using various hammers and anvils. Cold connections will be taught, and jewelry will be finished with patina. By the end of class each student will have a much deeper understanding of forging metal by creating hammered cuff and bangle bracelets in heavy gauge copper with sterling silver rivets.
