Horseshoe Reindeer
Knox Makers - Metalworking 116 Childress St SW, KnoxvilleTime to get into the holiday spirit! Join me in making horseshoe reindeer that will make a great addition to your holiday decorations or a great gift for someone!
No previous welding experience or welding authorization classes are required prior to this class. This is intended to be fun and a great introduction to what you can make with welding!
While we do have some personal protective equipment, you should still show up in close-toed shoes (preferably boots), pants (like blue jeans), and a shirt (non-polyester) with sleeves. When working with welding machines, natural fibers are strongly recommended. We have some hoods, gloves, and welding jackets but feel free to bring your own equipment if you have it.
You will also have the option to paint your reindeer or add a clear coat for protection and rust prevention. If you would like for it to rust that is also fine and a good look for them!
The cost of this class is $29.96 for current Knox Makers Members and $39.96 for non-members. The minimum class size is 2 and the maximum is 6. If the class minimum is not met within 48 hours prior to the class start time, the class will be canceled, and all tickets will be refunded.
