FAQs

What health precautions are in place? All welding and personal protection equipment has been thoroughly cleaned and disinfected after each use. Each participant must wear welding gloves, safety glasses, and a welding hood during the workshop. You may also bring and use your own PPE. Hand sanitizer, hand soap, and water are readily available in the shop, as well as disinfectant cleaners.

Oh no! I’m sick! What should I do? If a participant is ill, we ask you not to attend the workshop. No exceptions. We will gladly reschedule your session. Same for us – if Josh were to get sick, we would reschedule the workshop. We love to share our shop space, but not germs. (Josh & Darla are fully vaccinated against Covid-19.)

What is the minimum age requirement for the workshop? The minimum age requirement is 15 for this specific workshop. (If you have a younger student interested in welding, please get in touch with darla@browndogwelding.com.)

What should I wear? Please wear leather or canvas boots/shoes, and a pair of jeans that cover your entire leg and ankle. You might get dirty from metal dust, so don’t wear your favorite outfit. If you need glasses, please bring them. It is important that you can see under the welding helmet. If you use “cheater” glasses for up-close reading, please bring those! If you have long hair, please bring a hair tie. You might also want to bring a bandana to keep hair from getting caught in the welding helmet. 

Is it ok if the name on my registration doesn’t match the person who attends? Absolutely. Just be sure to put us in contact with the person who will be taking your ticket. We will need their registration information and agreement to our safety and cancelation policies on record. 

Coming in from out of town? We’d love to suggest local accommodations, dining, and sightseeing suggestions. We love Detroit and would love for you to enjoy it, too! Email darla@browndogwelding.com for info.
