Master the Art of TIG Welding: Small-Group Classes for Hobbyists & Makers

You've Seen the Beautiful, Precise Welds. Now It's Your Turn to Make Them.

TIG welding is the pinnacle of metalworking—a process that offers unparalleled control, clean aesthetics, and the strength to bring your most ambitious projects to life. But let's be honest: it can be intimidating. Many beginners get frustrated, waste expensive material, and give up before they ever feel that "flow."

It's not you. It's the class.

Most welding classes cram you into a crowded booth with minimal attention. You're left fumbling with settings, fighting the puddle, and wondering what you're doing wrong.

Imagine a different experience. One where you're not just another face in the crowd, but the focus.

Why Our TIG Class is Different: Learn by Doing, With an Expert at Your Side

We built this class for one reason: to give you the confidence and skill to TIG weld on your own. We do this by throwing out the traditional classroom model and focusing on what truly matters—your progress.

Learn in a Class of One, with a Group of Peers

Forget waiting your turn for help. Our classes are intentionally small, ensuring you get one-to-one supervision from the instructor. You won't be practicing a bad habit for an hour before it gets corrected. Your instructor will be right there, guiding your hand, answering your questions, and tailoring the instruction to your specific learning style.

Learn from a Legend with 50+ Years of Real-World Experience

You won't be taught by someone who just read the manual. He learned through trade and military training over several years. Your instructor has spent over five decades in the welding trade, working on everything from aerospace components to custom fabrication for the motion picture industry as a prop maker. He's seen it all, fixed every mistake imaginable, and mastered the subtle nuances of the craft. You'll learn the techniques that can't be found in books—the tricks of the trade that only a half-century of experience can teach.

A True Makerspace Environment

This isn't a sterile, industrial classroom. This is a hands-on, collaborative makerspace. You'll be surrounded by fellow hobbyists and creators, all learning and experimenting together. It's the perfect, low-pressure environment to ask "dumb" questions, try new things, and get inspired.

What You'll Master in Our Hands-On TIG Course

This is a hands-on workshop where you'll spend the majority of your time with a torch in your hand.

By the end of the day, you will be able to:

• Confidently set up and operate a modern TIG welder.

• Understand the perfect balance of heat, speed, and filler rod.

• Lay down consistent, beautiful beads on mild steel and some stinkers.

• Understand how to develop the motor skills and how to see in this new world.

• Troubleshoot common problems like contamination and porosity.

• Walk away with the practice pieces you created, proving your new skill.

• 
  

Is This TIG Class for You?

This class is the perfect fit if you are:

• A hobbyist who wants to build custom furniture, art, DIY, or automotive projects.

• A maker looking to add a high-skill fabrication technique to your toolkit.

• An absolute beginner who has never struck an arc before.

• Someone who has tried self-teaching with YouTube videos and feels stuck.

• A fabricator who knows MIG or Stick and wants to level-up to the precision of TIG.

No prior welding experience is necessary. We provide all safety gear (helmet, gloves, jacket) and materials. Just bring your desire to learn.

Your Journey to Welding Mastery Starts Here

Spaces are extremely limited to maintain our promise of one-to-one supervision. Don't let this opportunity pass you by. Stop dreaming about making things and start making them.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Do I need any prior experience?A: Not at all! This class is designed specifically for beginners and hobbyists. We start with the absolute basics.

Q: How long is the class?A: This is a one day workshop taught mainly on weekends. You learn all the basics and then you can continue to practice at your shop or at a makerspace that is near you.

Q: What is the youngest student that you accept?A: 14 years old with parental consent. We offer custom family and group classes as well. We will be offering Summer youth classes starting in June.

Q: Do you offer team building classes or events?A: Yes contact us for details. We have hosted the Petersen Automotive Museum tech staff, SpaceX, Relativity Aerospace and many others.

Q: What do I need to bring?A: Just yourself and a willingness to learn. We provide all necessary safety equipment (helmet, gloves, jacket), welding materials, and use of a top-of-the-line TIG machine. Please wear proper clothing for the class. No shorts or open shoes.

Q: Why is the class so small?A: Because TIG welding is a skill that requires direct, personal feedback. A small class size with one-to-one supervision is the fastest and most effective way to build muscle memory and proper technique. It’s the difference between watching someone cook and having a world-class chef guide your hand.

Q: Will I be a certified welder after this class?A: This is a foundational skills class, not a certification course. You will leave with the practical knowledge and hands-on ability to TIG weld safely and effectively for your own projects.
