What we did was a very good introduction to mig welding and how to weld different thicknesses together.
Everyone making the same owl step by step was useful as it required measuring, cutting, preparation and reasonably accurate welding.
Absolutely fabulous experience, enjoyed learning to MIG weld with a great teacher in a small class with plenty of time to ask questions.
A very enjoyable day. Making the owl used a lot of different skills and techniques.
Diane is a great host and instructor.
I was lucky enough to attend Diane’s welding workshop yesterday. Fantastic day learning new skills and opportunity to create my own piece of unique metalwork. Come along and visit Diane in her beautiful Northumberland workshop.
Her work is simply stunning
