Hey all- saw this thread AND....was just talking with a friend about how to increase function in her shop.

I have been a certified welder, and think that if we can get 5 women to take a workshop, there would be a lot of room to learn, and work.

She has got gas, and arc welder- she also has tig- but I would not teach that until people know how to oxy acetyline, arc weld with stick and mig. So that would be an advanced workshop.

send me a message if you want to be notified of a workshop or want to motivate me to do this...right now I am not pushing forward with it. Tell me how much you would pay for a one day workshop, and or 4 series class. This is in Mountain View. There may be a possibility of teaching it at the Shipyard in Berkeley as well. I'd have to check out what the restrictions are there, if any!

We are thinking wither one day intensives and or a 4 class series.

One disclaimer- there is a certain amount of liability involved- so a waiver would have to be signed- each person needs to release liability or there is no way the shop owner can host the workshop- the insurance is way way too pricey.

That is what you are paying for when you pay for a crucible class, I know for a fact the teacher gets peanuts for teaching. Slightly undervaluing technical expertise and teaching ability if you were to ask me:)
