THE CLADDING COLLECTION

The Cladding project began with a desire to find uses for and reimagine scrap metal in the Weld Guy metal shop in Milwaukee, WI. At its core, this accessory line experiments with the textural possibilities of welding rather than its common structural use. By welding on industrial material - stainless steel rods and tubing - the Cladding line transforms machined material into functional ornamentation, producing both smoothness/comfort for wearability and aesthetic potential.
