07:00PM - 09:30PM:  MIG Welding 101

Mig Welding 101 will walk you through how to set up a mig welder, from choosing the correct settings and adjusting the regulator for the Argon/CO2 gas. You will learn how to mig (metal inert gas) weld with solid wire from tacking your pieces together, creating a consistent weld pattern, and you will come away from class with your own metal box!

Be advised: You must be wearing closed-toe shoes, long pants, and a long-sleeve shirt. Cotton and leather clothing only (no polyester). If you are not dressed appropriately, you will not be able to participate in the class. Please also be sure to bring a bottle of water with you!

The class is taught by Gabi Madrid, a local Atlanta artist. Gabi Madrid is a creative fabricator and fine artist based in Atlanta, GA. In 2018, they began working with blacksmiths at the Goat Farm Arts Center and learned to forge, weld, and fabricate in metal. Following that, they worked in cabintery and construction, which led them to building sets for movies and TV shows. After leaving the film industry, Madrid began working on their own projects and a teaching career. This led them to become an instructor at Roswell Firelabs and teach others how to weld and build their own projects. Learn more about Gabi at https://www.gabimadrid.com/
