General Information

In this hands-on workshop, you’ll learn the basics of metalworking—specifically TIG welding, using a Flex (angle grinder), and how to bend and shape steel by hand. We’ll work with recycled scrap metal to create a small, functional object you can use in your daily life—like a ring or clip designed to help you carry things easily. Think of it as a personalized tool you can attach to your belt, bag, or backpack to hold keys, tools, or other items on the go. By the end of the session, each participant will have made their own unique, useful piece—while gaining practical skills in working with metal. No prior experience needed—just curiosity and a willingness to try something new!

The workshop will be held in English.

Important Information

Photo, Video, and Audio Recordings

During the workshop, photos will be taken for project documentation. We need good pictures showing our activities for the documentation, especially for our funding institutions. This will help us to be able to offer further projects in the future. We can clarify on site what kind of pictures would be possible.
