Create a metal sculpture

⏱️ 1-2 hours 📊 Beginner 🎨 Creative

About This Idea

Transform metal into art through welding, bending, or assemblage techniques. Metal sculpture combines industrial materials with artistic vision to create durable, striking pieces. Start with found objects like wire, old tools, or scrap metal to create abstract forms or recognizable figures. Learn basic metalworking safety, explore techniques like wire wrapping or cold connections (no welding required), or take a community college welding class to advance your skills. Metal sculptures weather beautifully outdoors and make powerful statement pieces.
