Industrial Arts Workshop

The Industrial Arts Workshop (IAW) empowers Pittsburgh-area youth and adults at the intersection of arts, community development, and workforce readiness. Through the creative process of hands-on sculpture design and welding, students develop skills and have experiences that help prepare them for the workplace – whether that be in welding, another trade, the arts, or some other field all together. Youth and adults who complete our programs will be stronger, more resilient, and prepared for a bright future.

Our core programs include Summer Welding Bootcamp, After School Welding Lab, the Weld Scholars Program (for participating schools), and FabShop. We also provide one-off introduction to welding workshops for groups of students and adults.
