We make custom metal art & modern metal artwork in contemporary pieces that you can be proud of and enjoy them for many years. They not only have a practical and effective use, but also they stand apart from boredom of every day production pieces.
Our custom metal art pieces play many functions
Aside of obvious artistic aspect of our metal art, we focus on functionality of these metal artwork pieces or metal artwork structures. We simply believe that you will not enjoy the beauty of these pieces if you will not use them. This is a rather unique approach to custom metal art and modern artwork since most metal art is just standing there for years to come. In our opinion this is not enough. Therefore we focus on every day metal products or items to transform them into art made from metal.
We have moved the customization of your metal art pieces and metal artwork structures to the extreme. No two pieces are the same for most projects and for most clients. The customization of the art has been rooted in skillful hands of our tradesmen/craftsmen, blacksmith operations, and personalized approach to every piece leaving the shop.
Our tradesmen/craftsmen working on your pieces use their hands to make it. We do not use automatic machines to cut or shape pieces. Simply because we do not want your neighbor to have the same metal art as you have. These tradesmen/craftsmen are also artists, but in order to improve their vision we consult our designs with artists specializing in particular area. Therefore, if you will find that our designs are not up to your sophisticated expectation, we can consult other artist. Alternatively, you can bring your own artists to share their vision for your project.
Our blacksmith is a genius with 30 years of experience in this profession. He has dealt with variety of steels, stainless steels, copper and bronze and incorporates these metals for better visual effects and better utilization of our metal art. For example, we use stainless steel when rust is affecting our art and cupper for finesse elements that can not be painted.

JW Portable Welding has been entrusted with number of religious projects ranging from shrine, decorative post, and advent wreath stand. Notably, our artistic visions have been been positively appreciated. With this in mind, and with fear of critical judgement of many hundreds of people looking on our metal art, we are fully aware that these pieces must look and function perfectly.
While in other artistic categories our art must empress the intention of the client with exquisite designs, the religious category is based on traditionalism and formal beauty. Here by saying less, we actually express more.
Also it is important to realize that we have to perform a balancing act between functionality and attractive symmetrical patterns in these metal artwork structures. The functionality of many pieces forces us to use thicker materials or more elaborate supports. Then again the symmetrical patterns must stay clean from any detailed distractions for better visual effect. That is why we have to use often variety of different welding techniques to hide welds or improve stability of artwork structures in a less visible way.
We were particularly happy with the symmetrical arrangement of candles and associated arrangement of joined steel rings in this design of advent wreath stand. The position of joined rings is on parallel plane to candle cups’ plane. In this case, we have received positive comments from our clients and written recommendations.
This particular advent wreath stand is about 53 inches high, weights almost 70 pounds and was standing on the altar in St. George church. Speaking about the altars, here is the folding step that allows speakers of different height comfortably use the same microphone.
Metal art of making flowers and especially metal roses is long known among blacksmiths. We continue with this tradition since many clients are demanding well done flowers made from metal. Our flowers do not differentiate much from their natural cousins due to skill of our blacksmith. We also paint them in color your want so you can still say something without saying a word. Although, traditionally for the purpose of expressing your feelings roses are recommended, you can also use other flowers for it. Here is the art of saying something with a color of the rose.
With our painted metal roses you can express your feelings in the same way as with the natural roses. In the light of colors of the rose, you can say, I love you with a natural red rose. However, with metal rose in red color, you are saying, I love you…..forever. This is the difference.
Our roses lasts forever since they are made from metal.
