A century of welds and wisdom 💯

Thank you to the @nytimes for spotlighting Michelle Cohen, fondly known as ‘Zelda The Welder’, for #nationalcentenariansday !

She stopped by Welder Underground to teach our apprentices a thing or two, about welding and life.

What’s that they say about trash and treasure?

We were thrilled to have @annalisa_iadicicco of the @thebluebusproject come build the Waters Weaver in our space, contribute to her sculpture and bring more awareness to the environmental hazards in our waterways.

A special thanks to @steelstatue for his mentorship, expertise and time to bend, mold and weld The Waters Weaver together.

It might be day one but we feel like we’ve known Cohort 4 forever.

The next chapter has just begun…

It’s happening!!!! The Waters Weaver has been built!

None of this would have been possible without our maestro, sculptor @steelstatue. Jack guided Zaire and me through the welding process, led the fabrication, and, with his extraordinary skill and vision, brought the sculpture to life. We are incredibly grateful to have learned from him and to now stand beside what we created together.

A heartfelt thank you to @welderunderground for your generosity, support, and belief in this project.

Now we’re ready to continue collecting plastic and begin our community weaving workshops in October. Follow along as The Waters Weaver continues to grow!
