The demo takes about an hour, but it is strongly recommended that you practice for another hour or more afterwards. MIG, TIG and Oxy-Acetylene welding demos are available by appointment this semester. To make an appointment, you can email the contact person next to that day/time to check availability.
You must attend a welding demo before you can use welding equipment in the metal shop.
Please email 48 hours or more in advance, as appointments are made on a first come first serve basis, and there is no guarantee that a particular time is available last minute.

The Metal Shop supports coursework by students in all areas within the Department of Art and Art History, as well as research by faculty and staff. Processes and machinery range from traditional blacksmithing techniques to modern digital fabrication processes. Students are encouraged to work with the shop staff to brainstorm and problem-solve creative ideas, as well as learn the necessary skill sets in order to execute their ideas.
