Intro to Welding

This is a great class for anyone who would like to try welding for the first time. The instructor will lead you through the steps to begin welding safely and the basic concepts of MIG welding. After experiencing welding first-hand, students may choose to enroll in Creative Welding. Students must wear appropriate work clothes, including leather shoes or boots, long sleeved cotton or wool shirt or jacket, light weight leather work gloves or gauntlet welding gloves, and safety glasses. No synthetic fabrics allowed. A welding cap or suitable light-weight cotton head covering under the hood is advised. Equipment and supplies will be provided, but students may bring their own welding helmet if desired (some loaners are available from our tool room).

Note: Prior to the first day of class, an email will be sent out containing the Weld Shop Safety Agreement. Students will be using the BTC Weld Shop for their learning experience.
