The Artistic Process

Metal sculpture uses expensive materials and errors are expensive. To that end, there is a process we use to be sure we know all the challenges. First we start with a small drawing, then 2. a full size drawing, 3. a full size drawing of each of the pieces, 4. a full size mock up in card board, mica board, or wood and then we are ready to build and finish with forced rusting, powder coat, or chemical bluing. Below are some pictures of one or both of us in various stages of the process with different pieces.
