Ready to take the basics of oxy-acetylene welding and make something? SHOP240: Make and Take: Oxygen Acetylene Welding (OAW) Sunbursts! will start with a brief recap of the basics, then turn you loose to make something of your own. Focused on metal art, this $60 class we include some basic metals for you to use. If you have small pieces of yourt own you would like to consider, feel free to bring them along. Oxy-acetylene torch welding is one of the oldest welding processes, widely used for welding thin metal sections and for heating and cutting tasks. It is a flexible and forgiving process, making it a great fit for amateur to expert welders, and easily adaptable to art fabrication and sculpture. Class requirements: Closed shoes, long pants, and sleeves (no synthetic material) that you don't mind getting dirty. Long hair needs to be tied back. Class prerequisite: SHOP140 or basic familiarity of Oxygen Acetylene Welding. PPE available, if you have snug fitting leather work gloves you may want to bring them. Spaces are limited, so sign up today and let the sparks fly! Hello! I am Kathleen, but you can call me Kat. I am a multi-media artist working with welded metals adorned with found objects. I first picked up a welding torch in New Mexico the Fall of 2022 and was hooked. My favorite work is my Warrior Figures, inspired by the feminine warrior spirit of the land, wind, and fire. I also create sculptures ranging from sunbursts to snowflakes, crosses to trees, and abstract forms in between. I salvage metals of many types and past lives from boneyards, salvage lots, thrift stores and garages. Adornments are gathered from estate sales, friends’ jewelry boxes, second-life craft stores, and nature. I am so excited to be a part of the CCM community as a Metal Shop Captain and instructor.

No experience required – just bring your curiosity and a willingness to embrace your inner metalworker.

Most of my knowledge is self tought and practiced over time while learning new methods of how to get things done. My other interest include mountain biking, hiking, and exploring the country with my wife and dogs. Information Source: Clear Creek Makerspace | eventbrite
