| CREATIVE ARTIST WHO NEEDS A STUDIO? |
| Welding Until the end of the 19th century, the only welding process was forge welding, which blacksmiths had used for centuries to join iron and steel by heating and hammering them. Arc welding and oxyfuel welding were among the first processes to develop late in the century, and resistance welding followed soon after. Welding technology advanced quickly during the early 20th century as World War I and World War II drove the demand for reliable and inexpensive joining methods. Following the wars, several modern welding techniques were developed, including manual methods like shielded metal arc welding, now one of the most popular welding methods From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Salado Arts Workshop Welding Artists Beginning Welding 101 (3 HRS) 4 week workshop In this comprehensive workshop, students will learn the basic skills and techniques of ARC welding.
