Entrepreneurial Careers in Metal Art

The field of metal art includes a variety of artistic renderings, signs and sculptures produced using metal as the primary medium. Unlike certain other categories of artists, artists who specialize in metal art have a number of entrepreneurial avenues at their disposal.

Some metal artists focus on selling sculptures to building owners and other interests. As a piece of fine art, the intention is that their work will enhance the aesthetics of courtyards, plazas, lobbies or other large areas. The problem is that the market for high-end metal art is extremely limited and is usually restricted to well-known players in the art world.

However, a more accessible (and reliable) line of work for metal art entrepreneurs is the creation of custom, functional art for personal or commercial use. These products can range from personalized metal signs to wall hangings or hat racks. The key is that the products have a functional purpose and have been created with an artistic flair.

Instructions

1. • 1
     Root through your garage or visit your local salvage yard to find a piece of metal. You can also use metal from old pieces of furniture, construction supplies or fencing debris. Any size, shape or texture will do.
   • 2
     Prepare your metal by hosing off any dirt and using a paint scraper or razor blade to remove caked-on gunk, stickers or other debris.
   • 3
     Examine your piece. Lay the metal piece in front of you and figure out what it looks like (for example, a bird's head, a frog, a sun, a star). Move it into different positions to see which angle works best. You may need to alter the piece to make it into the art you want. Some metal pieces will need no further alterations while others will need to be cut.
   • 4
     Cut if necessary. Use snips to cut off any loose ends or edges or to make the metal into the shape of your artwork.
   • 5
     Smooth any rough edges with a metal file.
   • 6
     Paint as desired. Use weatherproof spray paint or brush-on paint to give your metal a base coat of color. Add any desired borders, spots or shading with a contrasting color. Finish it off with small details using paint pens or a small brush. Details may include eyeballs, stripes, swirls or other designs.
