Class Description

Description

Buddy Up: You and a guest will make ONE spider together.

Create your own Halloween decorations by welding a giant spider!

Who needs store-bought Halloween decorations when you can design and weld your own custom big-ass spider that will last for years to come!

You’ll start this workshop by creating your spiders features, particularly it’s legs and fangs using steel rod – long and gangly, short and pointy, or whatever strikes your fancy. You’ll then personalize your spider by engraving its body parts, be it a black-widow-like hourglass or your preferred “trick or treat” messages for all that gaze upon your creation.

You’ll then don your welding “battle dress” and weld it all together. Once the sparks clear, you will have brought your creation to life and made it ready to do your bidding, be it for the Halloween season or year round!

We only do this workshop during the Halloween season (or when we’re feeling especially spooky) so reserve your spot now!

  • What You’ll Be Making: A custom metal spider, approximately 2 feet in diameter (but only weighs a couple pounds).
  • What You’ll Be Doing: Designing and creating your spider’s legs and teeth and welding them to it’s body.
  • Skill Level: Beginner — no previous experience is required.
