 Yardbirds are handcrafted in Louisville, Kentucky by artist, Rick Kolb. His menagerie of birds, critters, dogs and cats has grown from one to over hundreds. |  Created by artist Guenter Scholz, each sculpture has been individually handcrafted by cutting, bending and welding recycled steel to effectively portray the subject.
Shown, Soldier Wine Caddy. |  The Iron comes in 20 foot “sticks” that are cut down to the appropriate lengths. A tape measure is used to adhere to the laws of ergonomics, like the seat height on a chair, but does not play a role in the design. Using the welding electrode in much the same way a potter uses clay, several welds are layered one on top of the other when connecting the pieces and forming the structure. A grinder is used to achieve a seamless transition from one curve to the next.

 Artistic Alchemy is the studio workshop where the artists create one of a kind artwork from cold rolled flat bar steel. No jigs or molds are used. Each piece is individually hand forged to achieve the desired shape and design.
