Take a look at some of the upcoming summer classes! Good stuff.

Here’s what looks good to me….

Welding Techniques for Sculpture and Furniture. A six week in-depth course for all levels. Evening classes start June 24. There are weekend classes later in the summer. $500 including equipment if you’re a non-member.

How To Make Crappy Stuff Awesome. I love the title! “In this course, students will learn the basic concepts for creating furniture and other useful objects out of recycled and found materials for little or no investment. Give new life to a boring Ikea cabinet, fix a hand-me-down nightstand, or turn a bus window you found on the street into a coffee table.” Been there. Live that. Classes start in August. $380 for non-members includes equipment.

There are also basic woodworking, welding and furniture restoration courses. I wish I had time and money. This self taught stuff is a pain in my vintage arse.
