If these times don’t work, contact us to arrange another time.

Spend two hours with an experienced welder to:

  • Learn to weld,

  • improve your welding skills,

  • Learn how to use supporting equipment (brushes, sanders, grinders), and/or

  • Get help on planning, material prep, and fabrication for your projects.

Welders of all experience levels are welcome. If you’ve never welded before, a private lesson may be a more suitable environment for you than our group Intro to Welding class. If you have some welding experience, the lesson can be tailored to provide guidance on a project you're actively working on.

We’ll contact you after registration to find out what you would like to cover in the lesson.
