In this two-day art welding course students will transform forgotten metal, rusted tools, discarded hardware, and other found objects into original animal sculptures of their own design. Through guided instruction in basic welding techniques, safety, and metal manipulation, participants will learn how to cut, join, balance, and shape steel into expressive three-dimensional forms.

From fierce predators forged out of gears and chains to delicate birds assembled from scrap wire and sheet metal, each creature will reflect the imagination and ingenuity of its maker. This class invites students to see possibility in the overlooked, to turn industrial remnants into living forms, and to leave with both a powerful new skill set and a one-of-a-kind welded animal brought to life by fire.
