Come join Foundry Instructor Amina Boyd in the metalshop to make a classic but simple metal trellis structure to support climbing plants in your garden.
This class will guide you through steps of bending an arch, cutting metal, and successfully welding basic design elements with the METAL INERT GAS (MIG) welder.
Class Cost: $150 (materials included.)
Participants will receive their own personal welding helmet + gloves to take home and use in future Foundry classes. Our goal is to maintain a sanitary COVID-free environment and feel that increasing the cost of the trellis class to cover each participant receiving their own never-before-used personal protective equipment ensures a safe environment for everyone.
Class Size: Min 4/ Max 6
This class needs to meet the minimum enrollment in order to run. Participants will be notified of the status of class the Monday prior to the first session. In case of cancellation, participants can choose another scheduled date if available or request a refund.
