About

Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) welding is generally recognized as the welding technique of choice for artisans and more exotic materials including aluminum and stainless steel.

TIG welding is more difficult to learn than Metal Inert Gas (MIG) welding since it requires greater hand/eye coordination and the simultaneous use of both hands and one foot (controlling the amperage pedal.) TIG welding is a precision process particularly useful in high-grade artwork and metal sculpture. The class includes shop safety and hazard awareness and proper use of personal protection equipment. 

Details

Class is limited to four people to facilitate one-on-one learning and direct mentoring.

Each participant will have the use of a fully equipped TIG welding station.

Class Policies

  • BARN will provide Personal Protection Equipment (PPE)
  • Wear a long-sleeve shirt and long pants in natural fiber and closed-toed shoes (preferably leather or cotton). Stretch fabrics are prohibited.
