Teen Welding 
Ages: 13 to 17 / 10 am - 4 pm
Tuition: $675 / Studio Fee: $75
Code: S0708 Enrollment Limit: 10

Skill Level: Open to all
Concept: One of the great things about working in metal is the ability to quickly create
large, volumetric forms that wouldn’t be possible with other mediums. In this workshop we
learn not only how to weld, but how to visualize ideas and drawings and recreate them
three-dimensionally in steel. Each student can
expect to learn the basics of welding and create two projects: one utilizing the traditional
oxy-acetylene welding system and another
with modern arc-welding processes.
Media & Techniques:  Steel, paper and cardboard and fundamentals of oxy-acetylene welding and cutting, safe use of hand tools, power
tools, machinery and arc-welding systems.
Activities:  A slide show gives a brief history
of welding, and there are classroom exercises
in technique and model-building. Evan gives
technical demonstrations on oxy-acetylene
welding and cutting, wire feed arc welding and
finishing techniques.
Faculty: Evan Blackstock is a visual artist who
works at the University of Colorado in Boulder.
He co-teaches sculpture classes working with
metal and teaches a variety of workshops on
different welding systems, machinery use and
fabrication techniques. Working with many different materials on a daily basis, he also serves
as a consultant and fabricator for various projects within the art department.
