Reviews for Metal Working Classes in NYC

Metal Working Classes in NYC are rated 4.8 stars based on 717 verified reviews from actual CourseHorse.com purchasers.

  • Amazing experience & a very good teacher. You definitely get your money's worth.
  • Michelle Green is a great teacher. Very knowledgeable about welding/metal working and very patient. I would definitely recommend her classes and will be signing up for more.
  • Really strong class. Michelle is an excellent, thorough teacher who's clearly skilled in both the art and the technique of welding. A tiny class size allowed for genuine one-on-one attention and immediate feedback. In just two hours she covered enough of the fundamentals of striking an arc and running a bead that I walked out able to lay a basic bead myself. It's a confidence-building foundation for a beginner, which is exactly what I wanted from an introductory session. All the gear is supplied, the setup is beginner-friendly, and there's no pressure. Highly recommended.
  • My wife and I loved our experience with Michelle! We learned a lot, had fun and would definitely recommend it to others (we already have!)
  • Our expectations were absolutely exceeded. We had a phenomenal day at a perfect venue with an encouraging team that seemed to be having as much fun as we were. The team at Craftsman gave us a great day--well crafted and well managed to get us from idea to a real damascus steel knife in one awesome day. In particular--the team coached us to do the work with almost everything on our plate. Power tools, band saws, sand belts and even the forge were all available to us and the adventure into craftmanship made the day disappear. We would 100% recommend. THANK YOU!
  • This was such a fun, unique experience. I gifted this to my fiancé for his birthday and he was over the moon. Michelle is such an expert and we learned a lot! I would definitely recommend this to someone who is looking for something fun and different to do in NYC.
  • This class was perfect. It's intimate and you get plenty of time to ask questions and learn about forging. The instructor was super nice and patient. I love my little bottle opener!
  • Paulie was awesome and we had a great time. Thank you so much!
  • Me and my fiance wanted a chance to engage in and learn a new, useful skill and boy did we get just that. Michelle is an incredible teacher; knowledgeable, clear, and very skilled at turning a complex skill into an easily digestable lesson. It was a lot of fun, and we are very happy with the experience and conversations we took away from it.
  • Lots of fun and the instructors were awesome!
  • Michelle is a patient instructor and thoroughly explains the process and potential pitfalls of welding techniques in a clear and easy manner. Her studio is easy to get to and big and bright. I learned a lot in the one lesson and feel the small class size made personal instruction and technique correction possible. She is welcoming and kind- which helps immensely when diving into a new skill!
  • Unusual and creative date night! Always good to learn new skills and gain appreciation of expert craftspersonship. They provide everything you need, and make sure you succeed. Rough forging steel is hot work, so be prepared to take off layers as you work.
  • Highly recommend taking a class with Michelle. She's an incredible instructor and frankly a heck of a good hang. Felt safe, supported, and confident and walked away from class with a pretty rad jewellery holder I welded myself. Can't wait to do it again!
  • Would definitely take another class at this place, Great instructor!!
  • Great class! Instructors were attentive, supportive and fun. Would definitely recommend. I would even consider taking the class a second time. Looking forward to doing more knife forging.
  • I loved this course. Michelle's teaching style is very calm, patient, and fun. I walked away feeling energized and excited to continue learning and experimenting with my newfound passion.
  • great experience
  • I loved the mig welding class! The teacher was super knowledgeable, clear at explaining and tailored the class to the participants experience and desires. The candle holder I built is the main feature of my dining room table and has sparked a lot of conversations.
  • Such a unique class. Simple, yet intricate. My husband and I had a great time. Nate was wonderful!
  • I took the Custom Chef’s Knife class and it was absolutely amazing with a really engaged and fun instructor. Had a wholeeee lot of fun and can’t wait to do another of their workshops. Would recommend??‍♀️
  • The copper lamp class was amazing. Challenging but not overwhelming due to a fantastic guide! Highly recommend! You’ll be so proud to show of your final product :)
  • Excellent class! Highly recommend! Michelle is an excellent teacher and you really walk away having learned a lot!
  • We had an amazing experience in the copper lamp making class!! It was a perfect way to celebrate our 7th “copper” anniversary. The wine and pizza were a delicious compliment to the night too. Jacob was super knowledgeable, encouraging and helpful. We loved learning the art of copper soldering and having a full creative freedom for our piece. We are super excited about our art and will definitely be taking another class here.
  • Such an amazing class! It felt great to be taught by such a patient and experienced welder. As a woman interested in welding it was awesome to be introduced to the craft by an empowered woman thriving in such a male dominated field. I will definitely be coming back soon!
  • Terrific instructor, Easy class Easy to understand and follow along. No stress and no fear. All equipment supplied. Safe . My advice don't walk, run to her class you will leave wanting more. Jimmy B.
  • Michelle was an excellent teacher, got us using the tools quickly and safely - and not before long we were tack welding and welding seams! It was a great way to get started and to have the attention of a pro who could correct technique as you're learning. I feel much more confident about using an arc welder. A+
  • It was not like a class rather an afternoon with a good friend , sharing an interest and learning something new at the same time. I never once felt uncomfortable or doubted myself. Everything she said we were going to do we did as if we knew we could. I would recommend it to anyone, I think I learned more in those 2hrs than I thought I would. Don't hesitate to take this class, run. Jimmy Byrne
  • This class was really awesome! The instructor was very thorough in explaining all the steps to building our lamp. There were plenty of materials and time to plan and work on our masterpiece. It was an opportunity to brainstorm and put our skills to the test but in a fun way. The best part was I got to bond and enjoy pizza and wine with my date! It was a great experience and I highly recommend this class!
  • Great teacher! Very practical intro to stick welding. We were able to get enough orientation with the pros & cons, safety, and techniques to try it out and receive plenty of useful feedback. I feel confident enough to keep going forward!
  • Thoroughly enjoyed this session. Very knowledgeable instructors who have skin in the game. Excellent instruction that allowed me to learn and create something beautiful. Please make time and attend this session.
  • Michelle's class was a perfect balance of educational and fun for a first time welding experience. She is very knowledgeable and was open to answering any questions we had, as well as taking her time showing us the proper techniques. I would absolutely recommend this to anyone whose curious about welding! A great way to learn hands on in a safe environment.
  • Build a Custom Lamp with Craftsman My hosts were Jacob and Jullian, both were fantastic. I like to give a special thanks to Jullian for all of her additional assistance. She is so very kind and special. I also, got to meet a wonderful young woman named Victoria. Victoria, it was definitely because of you, I came home with a completed project. The vibe in the atmosphere was everything that really promoted such creativity for so many in the room. People projects were amazing. We were shown to cut our own copper piping to create our lamps. This would be a great holiday gift to give to anyone or yourself, perfect for a couple night! I can not wait to enrolled in other workshops they chave to offer.
  • Chris was so knowledgeable and left so much room for learning and creative expression. The space is so cool. I will certainly be back
  • Amazing class, very informative and a lot of practice. Didn't know that I can learn so much in 2 hours. Teacher was great, knowledgeable and patient. Good guidance.
  • I absolutely loved the class and the skills that I have learned. Very informative and the teacher was amazing!
  • It was a very entertaining and insightful class. The instructor is very knowledgeable and takes the time to answer your questions thoroughly; and boy did i have a lot of them. My girlfriend and I had a lot of fun! Would definitely take another one of her classes.
  • Excellent teaching. Excellent experience. Will attend other courses.
  • This welding class exceeded my expectations. Michelle Greene was the perfect instructor. Her experience as a teacher and sculptor fit exactly what we needed.
  • One of the best courses I’ve taken! First off, Michelle is an incredible teacher and sculptor! I learned more about welding than I thought possible in just two hours. She’s very patient and knowledgeable and it was a lot of fun to get this kind of hands on experience with metalwork sculpture. Needless to say it was a great way to spend the weekend, and if you’re on the fence about signing up for this course DO IT!
  • Really engaging and accessible class for people of all ages and skill levels! Made me realize I'm able to do more than I thought so can't wait to go back for my next class.
  • Great class
  • Awesome class and everyone is super friendly! Learned a lot and got to take home a cool knife
  • I absolutely loved my experience at Craftsman studio! I build a copper lamp with the patient support of my teacher. She was amazing in how she guided me through each step of cutting the copper pipes, soldering the copper pipes, pushing the wires through the copper pipes, gluing the pipes together. Finally my teacher fastened the plug to the end of the wires then turned the light on so I could see the final result. Excellent outgoing teacher. I Would definitely go again!
  • My son and I had a great time. My son has experience welding, I am a total newbie. Michelle was an excellent teacher to us both. We learned a lot and we each made a very cool jewelry/key holder, both of which are already being put to good use! I can't recommend this class enough.
  • A+++++++++ Great instructor! I learned so much. A+++++++++
  • Michelle is incredible!!! What a great experience to have her teach us a 101 wielding class. Super recommended!!!
  • Fun class! As a solo person taking the class, it would've been great to have the pizza & wine add-on option that was given to couples taking the class. Otherwise, definitely bring a snack.
  • Jirard was a great instructor! We had a great time learning to weld, and so happy with being able to bring home something we made together.
  • Absolutely amazing experience. I am anticipating an advance version of this class
  • AMAZING class! Trust, I had absolutely no experience with welding. I work at a desk all day; this was a polar opposite of my day to day world. I was a bit nervous, but Michelle put us at ease quickly, explaining all the safety measures in place within the work area and equipment. There was so much intrigue with all the tools/equipment to see and touch, the time FLEW by! Her instructions were clear, her responses detailed and animated, she really kept our attention with ease. I learned even while watching her instruct the other student. The location itself was captivating, located at the historical Brooklyn Navy Yard with so much history and even some of Michelle's own functional art structures on display! I walked away with an extreme sense of accomplishment, and some new knowledge in this niche area. This was not just a class, but an EXPERIENCE.
