With 19 different art departments to choose from, we're sure you will find a source of inspiration and creativity here. In this mini newsletter, explore one of our largest areas—Welding.
Joining metal with heat is a fabrication process used since the Bronze Age, and new technology develops continually. The Crucible teaches beginning and advanced classes in four different kinds of welding: oxy-acetylene gas welding, arc or stick welding, metal inert gas (MIG) welding, and tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding.
Jim turned his passion for underwater welding into a teaching career after decades of experience. Now, Jim shares his wealth of knowledge with students as the Welding Department Co-head at The Crucible.
Mark began welding in 1986 and first became involved at The Crucible in 2001 as a Studio Manager. Mark brings the values of solid craftsmanship and structural integrity to his classes and work, with the belief that a well-made object should outlast its maker for generations.
