Quick Ship Metals News-Blog

By Frank Ross

Wolf Dosch is a German-born metal artist who came to this country in 1963. He lives in the oldest city in the nation, St. Augustine, Florida, where he has spent 23 years making jewelry and selling it at shows and galleries up and down the east coast.

In 2006, Dosch decided to stop making jewelry and pursue his dream of becoming a 3-D artist, working in metal, but also incorporating other materials as the muse so inspired. His work is very unusual, spanning the creative horizon from beautiful yet practical pieces for the desktop, to striking wall art that combines shape, color and form into compelling visual art that captures and controls the eye.

Dosch utilizes many different metals and techniques, and while his style is readily recognizable from one to another; each has a distinctive flavor. On many you will find he has incorporated stone work, a carry over for his love of jewelry making.

Looking through the many images of his work, it is fascinating to consider that these fine works of three dimensional metal sculpture were once ordinary pieces of flat metal, purchased from quickshipMetals.com. Some say the heart of an artist beats in us all, and the only thing lacking is the courage to take the leap from inspiration to creation.

If you’ve felt that urge to take torch or tool in hand to bend, shape and mold metal into fine art; consider this a gentle push in the right direction. QSM’s customer service staff is friendly, helpful, and has literally tons of potential artwork stacked up and waiting for enthusiastic hands.
