Introduction to Metal Fabrication and MIG Welding

In person

Elli Fotopoulou

Ignite your creativity with an energetic introduction to metal fabrication! Dive into the core processes that bring steel to life—learning MIG welding fundamentals, how to prepare and shape materials, and how to work confidently with grinders and welding with mild steel. Along the way, explore surface finishing techniques, structural attachment strategies, and the design logic that turns raw metal into expressive, durable work. The first project will be a small metal box. You’ll leave with skills that open up a whole new world of making. Please dress in long sleeved shirts and long pants (natural, flame-resistant fabrics like 100% cotton or wool, no polyester or nylon), closed toed shoes, and hair tied back. The tuition for this class includes a materials fee of $40.
