Welcome to Weld Like A Girl™! We offer empowerment through welding fabrication, blacksmithing & welding sculpture through co-ed group workshops & private lessons. We also have a smash room to release your stress! Please sign up for email updates so we can let you know when we’ve got more to share! Or drop us a line if you have any questions!
Who We Are
Weld Like A Girl™ is an empowerment project using welding and creativity to boost self-esteem and whole-person wellness. We focus on creating an inviting atmosphere for girls and women but all are welcome. We provide a safe space to explore the mysterious world of welding and cutting hot metal, understanding that this world may be completely foreign and many will need some guidance navigating along the way. We might show up in your neighborhood, at local ag event or even in the parking lot at your middle school/high school. The whole point is to make welding accessible. If you think you cannot do something then you try it and it turns out you actually CAN do it, just imagine all of the things you CAN do next!
*Note: Gentlemen (not jerks) may attend nearly every class at Weld Like A Girl™. If a class is NOT co-ed, it will be clearly marked on the Events page.
What We Stand For
We stand for providing girls and women the opportunity to see how badass they really are. We stand for recognizing and embracing the many talents we have, as hidden as they may be. We stand for life-long learning and never selling yourself short. We also stand for Made in America, recycled and green products, family-owned/veteran-owned businesses and companies founded by/run by all women. We do our best to support those folks during our workshops and in our daily business.
*Note: We offer a military & 1st responder discount. Please message us to get the code.
What We Are Not
We are not man-haters. Each of us in life has had good teachers and role models- chances are nearly everyone has had at least one important male role model. We are not trying to exclude boys or men; we are simply providing a safe opportunity for girls and women to try something that might intimidate or scare them at first.
Looking for More? Welder Corps™
If you are interested in welding beyond your fun experiences at Weld Like A Girl™, our sister company, Welder Corps™ can help prepare you with job ready skills that are Nationally recognized, completely transportable and NEVER expire! Using standardized curricula from the National Center for Construction Education and Research created by Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) employed in the skilled trades, these credentials are earned through both book work and hands-on learning.
Even better? There is no age minimum or maximum for NCCER training! Yes, you read that right. Your mature 10-year-old homeschooled child or your 96-year-old parent can participate in modular training that prepares them for the world of work.
Welder Corps™ will start with the Construction Core where completers will earn a wallet card that shows employers you are ready-to-work. The next steps will be a series of multiple week classes in welding that prepare you for entry-level welding jobs across the United States. These NCCER modules have been hand-selected to ensure you can walk onto a jobsite and be comfortable working with most basic welding and cutting equipment. This is the beginning of your future in the trades!
