Following four generations of tradition, each piece of Haitian metal art is made entirely by hand with simple tools. Starting with a cast-off steel drum, the metal is cleaned, sanded, and pounded flat. From there, the artist chalks his design onto the metal and then begins the heavy, tedious work of cutting out the pattern with a hammer and chisel and giving the piece detail and dimension. In any case, he applies a clear-coat to the piece, which protects it and makes it perfectly suited for indoor or out of doors display. Worried that these sculptures may rust? Don’t be. A weathered patina is not necessarily a bad thing, but if that isn’t the look you are going for, take 5 minutes annually to apply a clear spray on enamel, and they are going to all the time look the same as the day you bought them. It’s that easy.
