Intro to Welding Art

---

0:00–0:15 — Welcome & Orientation
Meet your instructor, tour the shop, and learn what you’ll be making. You’ll feel right at home before you ever pick up a tool.

0:15–0:30 — Safety & Gear Fitting
We walk you through your safety gear, shop movement, and basic PPE. Weddings intense — but totally safe when you know how to do it right.

0:30–1:00 — MIG Welding Basics
See how MIG works, then lay your first bead. You’ll strike your first arc, practice on scrap, and get one-on-one coaching.

1:00–1:15 — Break + Studio Walk around
Grab water, rest your hands, and check out example pieces and setups.

1:15–2:15 — Build Your Project
Choose from art templates (flowers, bugs, abstract sculpture) and build your piece with support. Fit, tack, weld — and make it your own.

2:15–2:45 — Grind & Finish
Use grinders and brushes to finish your weld. Shape it, polish it, or tint it. Add custom details.

2:45–3:00 — Wrap-Up + Take It Home
Show off your work, take a few pics, and leave with a piece of steel you made — and a new skill that’s all yours.
