Steel Art: Making a Masterpiece

As an artist, you are always looking for ways that you can creatively express yourself through your work. There are many different materials that you can use to create your artwork, but none are as unique and versatile as working with steel from Wasatch Steel. Whether you have been trying to find a new material that you can use, or you have worked with steel and other metals on previous projects, here are some reasons to consider this metal, and ways you can use it to make your masterpiece.

A Unique Material
One of the great benefits of working with steel is its unique and versatile properties. It combines strength and durability with beauty, and gives you the ability to create several different types of artwork. You can use it to accent other art pieces, create entire sculptures with it, or even make beautiful wall décor, lighting, and other similar art pieces to accent your home or business.

Various Looks and Finishes
Another reason that steel from Wasatch Steel makes such a great material for your next art project is the wide array of different finishes and looks that you can find. It is a material that comes in all different shades, with several options for beautiful finishes and patinas. Steel is one metal that is really easy to paint, whether you want to go with an acrylic resin applied as a primer, color coat, and clear coat, or you want to use powder coating and finish by baking the color in. Either option gives you a hard, durable, weather-resistant coat that will stand up to any conditions, both inside and outside. In addition, these painting options don’t require regular maintenance to keep it looking good over time. You can also go with more natural finishes or patinas, such as Cor-Ten steel, or choose excess prime steel that has been exposed to some weather or oxidation and may already have its own unique finish.

Customizable for Every Project
Steel is not only strong and durable, it is also very customizable for whatever your project needs. You can buy it in several different forms at Wasatch Steel, which is your one-stop-shop for a whole variety of steel that can be customized for your specific project, with everything available and easy to find, like a steel supermarket. You can get sheet metal, pipes, tubing, angle iron, steel I-beams, diamond plate, and more, plus a wide variety of excess prime and used steel pieces that you won’t find anywhere else, and can give your next piece of artwork a very unique and personal touch.

All Shapes and Sizes
When you are an artist, you don’t want your creativity to be held back by not having the right materials to make your artwork into a reality. Whether you are creating metal sculptures, metal gates or entrances, specialized spindles for your railing, wall art, furniture, home accents such as lights and furniture fixtures, monuments, memorials, logos, or abstract art, you need to be able to find steel in all shapes and sizes. At Wasatch Steel, you can get all the materials you need from flat steel pieces to knick-knacks, and help your vision come to life.
