What Can I Expect
Make a garden obelisk on these welding courses in Essex! Spend a few hours in the company of the skilled City & Guilds tutors making hand-crafted decorative pieces on these wonderful sessions in Benfleet.
Adding an obelisk to your garden gives structure and height to your planting - just imagine how proud you’ll feel when the metal obelisk you welded is covered in climbing plants and flowers!
Courses take place at a specialist training centre, which is part of a welding and engineering supplies shop.The tutors have been teaching welding techniques since 1989 and no experience is needed for these sessions.
After a safety briefing and learning about MIG welding techniques, it’s time to get welding that 6mm metal round bar! If you’re on the standard half-day you will make one metal obelisk, whilst pupils on the extended course can choose to make one larger obelisk, or make a trellis and either a wall planter or a memo board.
Group sizes are kept small, so there’s plenty of hands-on, individual guidance available from your tutors. Even if you have never welded anything before in your life, you will be amazed at how much you can learn in just a few hours.
By the end of your course, you will have gained new skills and created your very own garden decor to be immensely proud of. Shop your vouchers for your garden obelisk welding course in Essex now!
