And the best part NO EXPERIENCE IS REQUIRED.
We welcome all students from beginners, to advanced welders.
About MIG or Metal Inert Gas Welding
Since its development in the middle of the 20th century, MIG welding has become commonplace in many manufacturing operations.
For example, it is commonly used in the automobile industry because of its ability to produce clean welds, and the fact that it welds metals quickly.
Metal Inert Gas (MIG) Welding, also sometimes called Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW) is a process that was developed in the 1940s for welding aluminum and other non-ferrous metals.
MIG welding is an automatic or semi-automatic process in which a wire connected to a source of direct current acts as an electrode to join two pieces of metal as it is continuously passed through a welding gun.A flow of an inert gas, originally argon, is also passed through the welding gun at the same time as the wire electrode.This inert gas acts as a shield, keeping airborne contaminants away from the weld zone.The primary advantage of MIG welding is that it allows metal to be welded much more quickly than traditional 'stick welding' techniques which makes it ideal for welding softer metals such as aluminum.
When this method was first developed, the cost of the inert gas made the process too expensive for welding steel.
About Oxy - Acetylene Welding
Oxy-Acetylene Welding is a welding process for joining two pieces of metal in which the required high temperature is obtained by the combustion of acetylene gas and oxygen.
The gases are thoroughly mixed in the welding torch to ensure perfect combustion.
The weld may be formed directly between two adjoining surfaces, but usually metal from a welding rod is fused in between the surfaces of the joint.
About Stick Welding
Stick or Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW), also known as manual metal arc welding or informally known as stick welding, is a manual arc welding process that uses a consumable electrode coated in flux to lay the weld.
An electric current from a welding power supply, is used to form an electric arc between the electrode and the metals to be joined.
As the weld is laid, the flux coating of the electrode disintegrates, giving off vapors that serve as a shielding gas and providing a layer of slag, both of which protect the weld area from atmospheric contamination.
Because of the versatility of the process and the simplicity of its equipment and operation, stick welding is one of the world's most popular welding processes.
The process is used primarily to weld iron and steels, but aluminum, nickel and copper alloys can also be welded with this method.
About TIG Welding
TIG or Tungsten Inert Gas Welding method became popular and useful in the early 1940s and, as a result, has greatly propelled the use of aluminum for welding and structural processes.
TIG or Tungsten Inert Gas Welding is the process of blending together reactive metals, such as magnesium and aluminum.
During the welding process, an arc is formed between a pointed tungsten electrode and the area to be welded.
A shielding gas is used to help create a clean weld, as it prevents oxidization from occurring.
The type of gas shielding typically used for TIG welding is argon, helium, or a combination of both.
When combined, these two gases can ensure a higher welding speed and welding penetration.
Using the TIG welding process, a person can perform a variety of weld types on a number of different metals, although steel and aluminum are the most widely used.
A filler rod, usually made from the same material as the base metal, is used for reinforcing joints and welding heavy metals.
Stonybrook Fine Arts also offers three day Summer Teen Intensives in Jewelry Making as well as Casting Tues-Thurs from 9AM-4PM.
As well as a variety of adult classes, so the entire family can join the fun!

Phone: 617-522-3331
By MBTA From the North: Take the Forest Hills bound Orange Line to Stonybrook Station. Once exiting the station turn left on to Boylston Street and head toward the intersection of Boylston Street and Amory Street. Make a right on to Amory and you will pass a park and a house with art outside the house (faces made of scrap pieces) Porter Street is the first street on your left if you see Sam Adams Brewery ..you have gone too far.
By MBTA From the South: Take the Oak Grove bound Orange Line to Stonybrook Station. Once exiting the station turn left on to Boylston Street and head toward the intersection of Boylston Street and Amory Street. Make a right on to Amory and you will pass a park and a house with art outside the house (faces made of scrap pieces) Porter Street is the first street on your left if you see Sam Adams Brewery ..you have gone too far.
By car from Downtown and the South End: Take Washington Street south past Dudley Square, continue on Washington Street until you pass Columbus Avenue /Eggleston Square..reduce speed and continue for four blocks and make a right onto Boylston Street, continue up Boyslton Street until you reach a traffic light (Amory Street). Make a left on Amory Street and make your first available left (Porter Street). Stonybrook Fine Arts is located at the end of Porter Street on the left. You will see a metal sculpture of a unicorn near the parking lot.
We are located across the street from the Samuel Adams brewery complex!
