  • 15 ans min.
  • Join Lauren and Daniela for an intensive 2-day workshop where steel meets skill, culminating in the creation of a handcrafted steel chair.

    Over two consecutive days, immerse yourself in the multifaceted world of design, welding and assembly.

    Day one is all about laying a strong foundation. Start by getting acquainted with the workshop's environment, emphasising safety protocols and the importance of personal protective equipment (PPE). Dive into the intricacies of chair design, ensuring each cut list is precise. 

    With steel marked and ready, transition into the welding phase. Here, you'll explore the mechanics of MIG, TIG, and ARC welding. Benefit from hands-on practice and real-time feedback from seasoned instructors, refining your technique as you go. The day winds up with the meticulous art of steel cutting, ensuring each piece aligns perfectly with the envisioned design.

    Day two promises an enthralling hands-on experience. With components ready, delve into the world of assembly, understanding the nuances of heat distribution, ensuring accurate alignments and masterfully securing joints. 

    Once your chair frame takes shape, it's all about precision welding. As the final step, quality is key. Inspect welds for strength, smooth out any rough edges, and perfect your creation.

    Equipped with tools like the TIG and MIG welder, cold-cut saw, angle grinder and more, the experience concludes with the pride of taking home a steel chair, a testament to your craftsmanship, ready to grace any space.

    Dive into a world where creativity meets metal and craft your very own masterpiece!
