    It was not like a class rather an afternoon with a good friend , sharing an interest and learning something new at the same time. I never once felt uncomfortable or doubted myself. Everything she said we were going to do we did as if we knew we could. I would recommend it to anyone, I think I learned more in those 2hrs than I thought I would. Don't hesitate to take this class, run. Jimmy Byrne

    Michelle's class was a perfect balance of educational and fun for a first time welding experience. She is very knowledgeable and was open to answering any questions we had, as well as taking her time showing us the proper techniques. I would absolutely recommend this to anyone whose curious about welding! A great way to learn hands on in a safe environment.

    One of the best courses I’ve taken! First off, Michelle is an incredible teacher and sculptor! I learned more about welding than I thought possible in just two hours. She’s very patient and knowledgeable and it was a lot of fun to get this kind of hands on experience with metalwork sculpture. Needless to say it was a great way to spend the weekend, and if you’re on the fence about signing up for this course DO IT!

    AMAZING class! Trust, I had absolutely no experience with welding. I work at a desk all day; this was a polar opposite of my day to day world. I was a bit nervous, but Michelle put us at ease quickly, explaining all the safety measures in place within the work area and equipment. There was so much intrigue with all the tools/equipment to see and touch, the time FLEW by! Her instructions were clear, her responses detailed and animated, she really kept our attention with ease. I learned even while watching her instruct the other student. The location itself was captivating, located at the historical Brooklyn Navy Yard with so much history and even some of Michelle's own functional art structures on display! I walked away with an extreme sense of accomplishment, and some new knowledge in this niche area. This was not just a class, but an EXPERIENCE.

    I absolutely LOVED this experience and could not recommend it more! It’s rare to find someone who is not only a fantastic and experienced artist with years of craft mastery up their sleeve; but also an exemplary professor. Michelle Greene was EXTREMELY patient, attentive, thorough, candid and welcoming. Her class is structured enough to have a good pacing, but flexible enough so that the teaching can be adapted to every students’ speed. I would recommend this for absolute beginners as well as more experienced welders who want to practice and widen their skills. In the end I could only feel inspired to continue working with metal, I hope I can keep on learning with Michelle, I will for sure be booking more lessons with her!

    Michelle's class was great! It was interesting to learn about the different kinds of welding processes, and Michelle has tons of real world experience both as an artist and in the welding industry. And of course getting to weld for the first time was amazing. The idea of welding was intimidating, but Michelle made it super approachable and safe, so it was a lot of fun. And my small metal sculpture lives on my wife's bedside table, which is a nice memento. Highly recommend the class!

    Michelle is not only an artist who teaches at art schools but also someone with a long resume of industrial welding experience. That means she can tune your class to variety of needs. If you are here for a date/experience, I've no doubt that you'll have a great time. She has every tool imaginable in the shop but will make it easy for to enjoy the fun part, after making sure you know the safety rules before you begin. In my case, I was hoping to have a rigorous session similar to what you would get in welding schools since I needed the skill for an upcoming art project, and I was more than happy with what I took away from the class. She drove straight into details of each component of the machine (the parameter settings, variety of wire materials and what they're used for etc.), and once safety protocols were understood, we got straight into welding practice while she pointed out the dos and donts, and gave advises for making things work for different type of materials. There was already an improvement in the skill during the short time. I went home w/ enough knowledge to purchase a welding machine and use it safely, but also felt that I wanted to come back for several more sessions - you get that when you know that you are working with a great teacher/mentor. Can't recommend her enough !

    I took the intro to Arc Welding class with Michelle and I had a great experience with her. The class lasted about 2 hours and for almost the entire 2 hours aside from getting familiar with the arc welding setup we were welding and Michelle was giving feedback. There are a lot of introductory videos online on YouTube but having an actual professional showing you the techniques in person is so much more enriching and once you walk out, you’ll have much more confidence when you’re practicing on and using your own welding machine. Michelle provides the welding PPE; masks, gloves, cotton sweater to go over your own clothes. Class sizes don’t go more than 2 people so you get a lot of attention and feedback from the instructor. At the end of the class she offered me to take home the pieces I practiced on so I could reference it later on. I’d recommend her class easily.

    This class was incredible! I purchased this class as an anniversary gift for my husband, and attended it with him. Michelle was an excellent instructor and did a great job putting me at ease, as I was extremely nervous. She also did a great job of handling our different skill levels (my husband caught on much quicker than I did.) By the end of the two hours, we knew how to set up the machine, tack pieces together, and run a bead. We even made small sculptures to take home. I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking to learn how to weld. (Note: We took the class on a Saturday morning and had no issues gaining access to the Navy Yard. There were also plenty of places to park right along side the building.)

    The class was exactly what I was hoping for. Michelle started the session by explaining the most important aspects of how welding works and and basics on how to setup the machine. We proceeded to do a number of different types of welds with materials of the same and different thicknesses. At the end I put together some scraps of metal to make something fun or useful. I choose fun. Today I showed it to a friend who welds and he said the welds were really smooth - he was impressed. The outcome of the class was more than expected. I feel confident enough to do a bit of welding on may own but with a friend nearby just in case. The challenges were different than what I expected. Happily so.

    Though I had done some research, I had not welded before taking Michelle's class. By the end of our time, I had a great understanding of the basics and clear instruction as to how to improve once I left class. Michelle's broad experience in the field drew me to this course, but from the outset it was also immediately apparent that she's a great teacher. As someone who had just done some reading she took me through each step carefully and efficiently. Beginning with prep and safety she helped me understanding how to organize my workspace. When we got to welding she demonstrated technique in a comprehensive way before turning it over to me. I made my fair share of mistakes, but I steadily improved because Michelle helped me evaluate my work and usually offered more than one way to correct any mistakes. By the end of class I understood how to run an ideal bead, but also how to recover from my mistakes. This was a very informative class and I can't recommend it enough for beginners or anyone who is looking to reacquaint themselves with the basics.
