Students will learn the basics of MIG/wire feed welding and using a hand-held plasma cutter, practice both, and then create a unique piece of their own! We will also have the option of welding a simple bird should you choose to use the outline provided rather than creating your own.
Please wear all natural fibers (like cotton; we recommend jeans and a t-shirt/sweatshirt) close-toed shoes, full length pants, and no loose/dangly garments or jewelry. We recommend bringing a natural fiber jacket in case you get chilly, as we may open the door for more ventilation. We also suggest bringing a water bottle! Otherwise, just bring yourself and be ready to have a good time!
Age 16+, under 18 MUST be accompanied by a guardian.
Your instructor, Jaime Maginnis, has years of practice with welding. He enjoys indulging others’ curiousity in metal, and we are so glad he agreed to teach with us! Our President and Director, Lucy and Linore, as well as donor match Mark got to be his guinea pigs to nail down the class flow and it was a blast!
A calendar has been created called the This is Kingsport events calendar which will serve as a non-public forum to provide citizens with information about social and organizational gatherings held within the city. The city will disseminate information to the public through this online calendar about social and organizational gatherings which are conducted or promoted by community partners with which the city currently has partnership agreements. Additionally, social or organizational gatherings held on city owned property to which the public at large is invited will be published on this calendar.
Each year the city enters into partnership agreements with multiple community partners some of whom in turn support the city by organizing events or promoting events of members and affiliates. By creating a common source for the dissemination of information about community events the city will be furthering its support of those community partners which in turn support the city. Moreover, the city wishes to and will benefit from highlighting gatherings which will be of benefit and enjoyment to the public.
Community partners may communicate their events or those which they promote to the city which will disseminate the information through the event calendar. Furthermore, the city of Kingsport will publish on the calendar those community events which are held on city property. In order to achieve the city’s goals only those events described herein will be published on the This is Kingsport event calendar which will be curated by city staff.
