Intro to Welding
Hoods down, sparks up (safely). MIG fundamentals and your first real beads on practice steel.
ZACMAX STUDIOS
What actually happens here?
ZACMAX Studios offers people a chance to break away from the mundane and step into the fiery world of metal sculpting. Bring ideas to life from raw welded scrap. Strike hot iron as it leaves the forge glowing cherry red.
Then level up as your skills grow, with guidance from a working sculptor who’s been doing this for over 30 years.
- Welding bay — MIG-focused intro: clamps, settings, and confidence on scrap before anything “final.”
- Bench & sculpture — cutting, grinding, tacking shapes, and finishing so pieces feel intentional.
- Forge corner — heat, hammer, and simple forgings (hooks, small tools) with lots of coaching.
- Room for questions — first-timers welcome; we’d rather explain twice than rush once.
