About Metalworking & Welding Workshops
Why Metalworking Feels Different
We’re all about making stuff with your own hands. For me, there’s nothing like the buzz you get when you turn a raw piece of metal into something real. Honestly, you’re gonna mess up a bit - sabko hota hai (it happens to everyone). That’s actually where you learn the best things. We want you to love the process, not just the end result.
What You’ll Actually Do
- Kick off with the basics - how to stay safe and use power tools without freaking out.
- Get deep into cutting, grinding, and welding - the real core of metalworking.
- We’ll show you welding safety techniques and guide you through Arc and MIG welding in a way that makes sense, even if you’ve never held a welder before.
- Take your idea, sketch it out, and build something you can actually use or show off.
Types of Workshops
- Weekend beginner welding classes. No experience needed. You’ll design, build, and take home your own project.
- Metal art workshop for those who want to play with scrap, make sculptures, or try upcycling.
- Longer courses if you want to get into DIY metal furniture making or add skills to your design portfolio.
- Custom courses for folks who want to go all in and try bigger projects, from jewellery to furniture.
Who Shows Up Here?
Anyone who’s curious. Absolute beginners, artists, DIY peeps, design students, or just someone who wants to try something new and hands-on. If you want to unplug and do something real, this is the space.
What’s Included
- All tools, materials, and safety gear. You make it, you take it home.
- Real mentors who help you out, step by step.
- Weekends, multi-day, and shorter options - pick what fits your vibe.

My Story
We’re The Workshop, and honestly, we’re all about that happy buzz you get when you make stuff with your own hands. Started this because we saw how making things got left behind, like it’s just for kids or something. But nah, it’s for everyone. Nothing beats watching someone—kid, mom, or even a whole office gang—light up after creating something real. Not chasing perfect, just that feeling when you say, ‘Hey, I made this!’
My Work
Our workshops - We run DIY woodworking workshops, beginner welding classes, Raku pottery sessions, and even bamboo didgeridoo crafting. All hands-on.
Everyone’s welcome - Total newbie or pro, doesn’t matter. We guide you step by step. You make, you take home what you made.
Tools and process - From powertools to Japanese saws, welding, kilns, laser cutters—try it all, learn by doing. It’s about the experience.
