Hey y’all!
Our winter workshops are starting in December. First on the roster…welding courses! Check out more details below.
Welding for Farmers / Growers is a collaboration with The Steel Yard in Providence, RI. In this course, students will learn both MIG and stick welding in application to farming practices. Both techniques are helpful for tool repair and ergonomic adaptation, building infrastructure and machine repair/adjustment. Shop protocols and guidelines will also be covered during this course.
Welding for Farmers will take place over 2 consecutive Mondays or Sundays in 3 hour sessions, giving 6 hours total of instructional time.
