Welding is not only technology. For sensitive and creative people it is also a powerful mean of expression. Presentation of artwork is best done in exhibitions and Art Books. The use of welding for realizing work of art is probably as ancient as welding itself. For those tending to think that welding is a modern technology we should note that the process called forge welding was used since the emerging of the Iron Age by ancient blacksmiths. And brazing of gold and bronze art objects was even older.

For getting inspiration and nurturing with artistic seeds your creative imagination browse the following Artbooks and admire beautiful examples of fine artwork. Valuable Artbooks are also a good idea for a gift to a hobby welder and to creative handcraft amateurs. What about reading in Artbooks the words of the artist presenting works and tips? Choose from the following list of Artbooks and video. Some Artbooks may encourage students without previous welding experience to try welding on their own: we do not recommend this course of action. You are not dealing with a pen or a paint-brush. Let us face it: a welding torch or outfit in inexpert hands can be dangerous. But dangers are eliminated if safety precautions are learned, understood and constantly applied. Let us stress that welding basics should be learned in a good Welding School. Students will get not only good attitudes towards safety issues, but will also catch fine details of manual skills from observing the work of accomplished welders. Instructors may get their chance to correct bad habits right from the start. Then the time will come to practice and to get experience by oneself and also to enjoy the satisfaction of realizing personal artwork and, who knows? even to present the artwork in new Artbooks.
