I had a great time at the Welding and Metal Fabrication class. It was a wonderful casual atmosphere, everything was well organized, the site was open and easy to maneuver in. The instructors were extremely helpful, knowledgeable and supportive. I will be back for more classes here. You should go also.
Learn the fundamentals of metal fabrication and welding by building a small metal planter.
Welding seems like a historically reliable way to be a badass.
Rosie the Riveter, the photo of the group of men eating sandwiches on a steel beam while building the Empire State Building, the existence of the Eiffel Tower, or any movie montage where a rag-tag bunch of underdogs have to prepare and defeat/save something; all show the significance of welding to our world.
But how do you learn to weld? Do you tinker in your studio apartment?
Heavens no! Welding involves fire and the possibility of injury.
The best, friendliest, safest, and most artsy way to learn welding through metal fabrication is through a single workshop at Craftsman Ave.
In just one evening, you get a hands-on introduction to metal fabrication as you practice cutting, welding, and grinding to create a small minimalist planter.
At every phase, you will be closely mentored by an expert craftsperson (we call them “guides” for this reason) as you safely cut, shape, weld, and polish steel.
After the “making” phase, you can give your planter some flair with our engraving tools or just leave it plain and minimal.
Whether it becomes home to a collection of writing implements or a hearty succulent, the steel planter you weld will stand as a monument to your badassery forever.

Students at the Make a Steel Planter Box (Welding/Metal Fabrication) class were highly satisfied with the level of instruction and hands-on practice they received. Many students commended their coaches for their extensive knowledge, practical teaching style and friendly approach. They appreciated the comprehensive coverage of the course, including an introduction to various tools and techniques, a stepwise project execution, and thorough safety precautions. The class served as an efficient introductory course for many, encouraging them to further hone their welding and metal fabrication skills. Students also expressed excitement at being able to take home their DIY metal planter or table. Quotes: 1. "Our instructor began the class by giving us an overview of the steps that we would take to fabricate a metal planter. Next, he explained each step and the proper use of each tool as we completed each stage toward our final result." 2. "Amazing instructor who seems really into his craft. You get to cut, bend and weld metal and some minor wood work. You end up with a nice looking planter stand." 3. "The class was great! We were introduced to a bunch of different shop tools and techniques, and came away with a very nice, clean-style stool/table that has additional potential for finishing."
