Want to learn basic welding skills? The Generator, creative space for many of the art works that show up at the annual Burning Man event in Gerlach, is hosting a workshop tonight that will familiarize students with MIG welding, including safety, setup, basic machine troubleshooting and making a weld on steel plate. The class is tonight from 6pm until 8pm at 12-40 Icehouse Avenue, and students get 25 percent off with a student ID. Wear long pants, closed toed shoes, and a long sleeve, cotton shirt, if you go. Ted Koutz is teaching the class. He’s a professionally certified welder, and has been involved in metal-related arts and crafts since he was 15.
