About this Class

When society thinks of welding and metal fabrication, people commonly picture finely engineered cars, bridges and skyscrapers. Yet, in this course, we have David Madero, one of the world’s top metal sculptors who will be teaching students how to weld, grind and fabricate artistically and to literally manipulate metal into works of art. Whether you feel confident in finishing your very own metal sculpture/decorative piece or just getting your feet wet by experimenting with different types of artistic welding, textures, and finishes – David will happily guide you through any metal art journey that you choose and are comfortable with. In other words, a complete choose-your-own-adventure in metal, guided by a pro. And, as you may have noticed, David isn’t much for rules in creating art. However, in this class, where art meets metal fabrication and welding, he will keep a strict eye on everyone’s safety. So, nerves of steel and take this plunge with David. You never know, your future may even hold having a small welder and a few tools in the garage and a lifetime of making whatever your imagination can come up with in metal.
