About

Introduction of MIG Welding #3 – FABRICATION is the third class (of four) in the sequence leading to use of the welding studio.  Students should have completed Introduction to MIG Welding #1 and #2. The MIG welding class is limited to 4 participants.  Small class size creates an intimate learning atmosphere for one-on-one learning.  

The class will cover the safety and use of hand and stationary power tools available in the welding studio for cutting, grinding, and preparing materials.  Additional class content will include adjusting the Miller 215 welder.

The emphasis of the class will be on the materials preparation, layout, clamping, and fabrication of precise welded joints.  Students will prepare a square or rectangular 90 degree frame and/or other precision welds in various positions.  Studio goal is satisfaction with completion of a series of precisely welded joints.

When registering for class on line you will be required to pay an added $5 materials fee which will cover steel, wire, and gas. This will then be added to the base price of the class and totaled. If paying by check, please include the $5 materials fee.

During this time she interned and volunteered at a metal arts school called The Crucible. She returned to Bainbridge Island and began doing furniture bases and other fabrication for Coyote Woodshop. Eventually she moved on to work at an Island fabricating shop as well as teach at another Kitsap area school aimed towards children's welding education. She still currently does fabrication all over Kitsap. Her passion is everything welded including large and small indoor and outdoor household amenities.
