JOIN US FOR A WELDING WORKSHOP

Master welder, Josh Welton, offers welding workshops for beginner to experienced welders. All small group workshops take place in our Detroit shop near the Wayne State University Campus.

Workshops typically include:
• 4 HOUR WORKSHOP  (pricing will vary per workshop)

• All Welding materials & equipment provided (metal, filler, gas, tools, etc)
• Personal protection equipment (PPE) will be provided for your use: flame-resistant jacket, welding gloves, welding helmet, and safety glasses – all sanitized. Please feel free to bring your own, too!
• Water and light snacks provided (you may bring your own if needed)

Workshops cover:
• Welder Safety
• Welding Process (Your chose TIG/GTAW or MIG/GMAW or STICK/SMAW)
• Equipment Parts Breakdown
• Filler metal and Shielding gases
• Process Setup
• Process Settings
• Material Prep

Please note:
We do not offer a comprehensive welding certification program at our shop. Instead, our workshops are designed to introduce participants to the basics of welding—giving anyone curious about the craft a chance to strike an arc and experience it firsthand. Attendees leave with foundational knowledge and hands-on skills they can build on, whether their goal is to explore a new career path, create art, develop a hobby, or simply try something new. Over the years, we’ve welcomed everyone from 10-year-olds to 80-year-old retirees through our doors. (We also offer private lessons to those with welding experience/certifications who want to expand and improve their skill set.)
