scrap metal art

Welded salvage creations

Scrap metal art is sculpture or decorative work made from discarded metal objects—car parts, tools, machine components, industrial scraps.

Artists weld, bend, and assemble these salvaged materials into new forms, from garden sculptures to gallery pieces.

The medium emphasizes resourcefulness and transformation: The courtyard featured a scrap metal art dragon made from old engine parts.
