Course Description

This course offers instruction in ornamental welding, designed for students with limited knowledge of welding techniques. The curriculum will emphasize plasma cutting, GMAW (MIG) welding, and the forming and fabricating of steel and recycled metals. Participants will complete small projects while they learn to use shop equipment and common hand tools and then create a final small metal art project to take home. The final project must be within the student’s skill level and feasible to finish within the class time limits.

An auto-darkening welding helmet, leather welding gloves, and a welding jacket are required for this class. These items are available for purchase at IAI as a kit for $250.00.

This training is very active and requires standing, walking, bending, kneeling, and stooping, throughout the training period.  While performing the training, the student will be required to use hands and fingers to feel, handle, or operate objects, tools, or controls; and reach with hands and arms.
