Metal Sculpture from Found Objects
A. J. Garrett
at
Lake Houston Outboard Marine in Houston



HABA’s host for the November HABA Meeting was Bill Stone. Bill’s shop is Lake Houston Outdoor Marine, 8635 East Mount Houston, Rd, Houston, TX, 77050. Should you need to get in touch with Bill, his number is 281-458-1796.

A. J. Garrett was the featured demonstrator. If you have been a HABA member for any amount of time, you will know that A. J. is one of HABA’s most creative members. He has the uncanny ability to look at what most of us would see as a ‘pile of junk’ and turn it into many different types of marketable metal sculpture.

A special drawing was performed, courtesy of A.J, for four special Pink Flamingos which he has become known for. The Flamingo was featured in his demo for the day and several photos of the sequence are found in the photo collection below.

Please visit our web page for more details and some photos of A.J.'s creations at A.J.'s Metal Sculpture

Photos from Richard Boswell show the process of creating from found objects, and many of the recent creations from A.J.   Some of the images suffer from exposure problems caused by low battery power. Click on an image to enlarge....
