Ever wondered how two chunks of metal get permanently introduced to each other? This beginner-friendly session is a practical introduction to stick (arc) welding, led by Will.

We’ll start with how stick welding works, cover basic safety concepts, and walk through how to properly prep materials and set up a weld. Will will then demonstrate a weld and talk through what’s happening in real time, including common mistakes and what “good” actually looks like.

This is a small, focused learning session designed to keep things approachable and safe.

Important participation and safety requirements:

  • This is a 101-level class and demonstration, not a certification or independent welding training.

  • Attendance is strictly limited to 4 participants.

  • Registration is required, and email confirmation is mandatory. If you have not received a registration confirmation email, you will not be allowed to participate in the class. Walk-ins will not be accepted.

  • Participants should wear long sleeves and clothing made from natural fibers (such as cotton or canvas) whenever possible. Synthetic materials are not recommended around welding activities.

  • The session is primarily observational, with guided discussion and Q&A.

If you’ve been curious about welding but didn’t know where to start, this class provides a safe, structured introduction with clear expectations.
