The Art of Welding

Typically, when you think of a welder, your thoughts conjure a picture of hardworking men and women doing the important job of creating goods that are the backbone of this country; vehicles, piping and machinery,  just to name a few. However, there are a growing number of welders that have nothing to do with creating commercial goods and everything to do with art.

Everything from sculptures and jewelry to DIY décor are created using the technique of welding. Sculpture artists can weld truly unique and one-of-a-kind creations soldering discarded metals that were destined for the scrap yard. Today, lots of home decor, for both inside and out, has been popularized using recycled metals. A bottle bush using recycled bottles would look lovely in your garden. Are you a horse lover? A flower made from old horseshoes would be a perfect wall decoration for you home.

Metal art sculptures may be modern or contemporary and can bring new life to forgotten discards. From coffee tables and fire pits, to a rooster made from an old spade shovel and a spoon flower for your walkway, sculptures are revitalizing what would otherwise be trash.

Let’s not forget the beauty that is welded jewelry. Heirloom quality jewelry can be crafted and designed in such a way that is not possible with traditional jewelry making. Often times, welded jewelry can be crafted and designed to your exact specifications. For sure, no two pieces will ever be alike.
