Waste Welders

A creative and skill-building introduction to working with reclaimed metals.

Waste Welders

Get hands-on with metal and creativity in this fun and practical workshop where participants will use scrap and waste metals to design and create their own quirky characters and small ornaments.

Working with guidance and appropriate safety measures, participants will explore basic welding and soldering techniques while learning how discarded materials can be transformed into playful and meaningful creations.

This workshop encourages confidence with tools, creative problem-solving and a deeper understanding of reuse and material value — turning waste into something to be proud of.

🛠️ Tools and materials provided but participants are encouraged to bring old pieces of scrap metals with them to add to the mix!
