Welding for Artists (Wed - Fri, 23 - 25 Sept 2026)

This is a fantastic, intensive three day workshop which will enable you to learn a variety of skills for working with metals. On this course, no matter what your background - whether you are thinking about a sculpture or have a design idea - you will learn the basics of MIG welding, grinding, rolling, bending, cutting and good workshop practice whilst realising your ideas/project. If you don't already have a project in mind - don't worry! Once we get going plenty of ideas will arise & the small group size allows for 1:1 time with the tutor during the 3 days of the course. Open to all levels including beginners. No sculpture experience is required. Advanced students will continue personal projects and research new techniques and processes. Please bring a sketchbook. Please note there will be a 1 hour lunch break each day (lunch not provided). The course fee provides an allowance of ten pounds for materials this covers most consumable costs. Grinding and safe workshop practice will be covered. It is essential to wear old clothes and strong footwear.
