Enamel Sculpture
Guild member since 2005
The Wells’ work as artists and sculptors has been a professional endeavor since 1966. Each piece begins with an idea, which Bob designs and creates on paper or in metal. The full pieces are joined by brazing and soldering the parts together. Color is then added using torch painting and enamel. Because the outcome of color depends on weather and humidity and how hot the torch is, each piece comes out unique. After all of this, Dolores applies a coat of lacquer to condition it to last through all sorts of weather. “We combine our separate skills to design, create, and finish each original piece ourselves with the hopes that the owners will enjoy it as much as we have had the pleasure and fun of creating it.”
