    It was not like a class rather an afternoon with a good friend , sharing an interest and learning something new at the same time. I never once felt uncomfortable or doubted myself. Everything she said we were going to do we did as if we knew we could. I would recommend it to anyone, I think I learned more in those 2hrs than I thought I would. Don't hesitate to take this class, run. Jimmy Byrne

    Great teacher! Very practical intro to stick welding. We were able to get enough orientation with the pros & cons, safety, and techniques to try it out and receive plenty of useful feedback. I feel confident enough to keep going forward!

    I took the intro to Arc Welding class with Michelle and I had a great experience with her. The class lasted about 2 hours and for almost the entire 2 hours aside from getting familiar with the arc welding setup we were welding and Michelle was giving feedback. There are a lot of introductory videos online on YouTube but having an actual professional showing you the techniques in person is so much more enriching and once you walk out, you’ll have much more confidence when you’re practicing on and using your own welding machine. Michelle provides the welding PPE; masks, gloves, cotton sweater to go over your own clothes. Class sizes don’t go more than 2 people so you get a lot of attention and feedback from the instructor. At the end of the class she offered me to take home the pieces I practiced on so I could reference it later on. I’d recommend her class easily.

    Had a blast in Michelle’s class. She is an incredible instructor and makes you feel comfortable with the equipment and process. You even get to make and take home a little sculpture. Will definitely be coming back!

Metal can be a rigid medium. I like to make it move. I play with both visual motion and actual motion in creating sculpture. One’s imagination can make my sculpture flow.

The art reflects a contemporary raw industrial elegance.

I often repurpose items or ideas from a community's past, into new art forms....
