| 关于此艺术家 | |
-"Although inspired by aquatic and botanical forms, for Roberts, process is paramount. His process of manipulating metal into plasticity mimics the growth and movement of the natural world with a substance that is anything but fluid. Heated metal or cold forging stretches the material, allowing it to grow organically. The development of a work is evident within itself. The ripples within reveal their process of stretching and expanding- like the rings of a tree or the belly of a mother. The final compositions themselves flow, resembling ribbons in the breeze whirling in and out, and back around again. The skill of any artist is to create something that does not appear to be the sum of it's parts. Roberts' proficiency as a metal smith reveals organic forms that can hardly be fathomed to materialize from metal". ~ Dr. Leslie Hammond Director of Curatorial Affairs, Appleton Museum of Art. |

| 教育程度与个人自传 | |
| My name is Bill Roberts, I live and work in Central Florida, and I have been metalsmithing since 1984. I started my career as a jewelry designer and caster (using the ancient lost wax method). With a jewelers eye for detail, and finding myself drawn to other metals, in 1989 I began my apprenticeship, with Klahm and Sons, an internationally renown ornamental metalsmithing firm that specialized in architectural metalwork, of the highest quality. There the seed was planted that motivated me to learn the forge and fabrication approach to metalwork. That experience has allowed me to broaden my artistic horizons to include not only fine jewelry in gold and sterling but also what I like to refer to as "house jewelry" (gates, railing, furniture, lighting, sculpture and more) of mixed metals. Including steels (stainless -mild & damascus), brass, bronze, copper and aluminum. Of late, the majority of my work has fallen in the architectural ornamental metal category. I specialize in hand forged or custom cast, one of a kind and limited edition designs. I enjoy working with original designs of my own as well as collaborating with clients. Bill Roberts, Owner and Operator of Custom Design Metal Arts, with over 20 years, full time, experience in decorative metalwork offers: One on One Classes and Workshops. The Shop offers one day, three day and weekly classes, intensive workshops and demonstrations as well as private tutoring. All levels welcome. Open year round. Bill is available to teach workshops and classes at others Schools in the United States and abroad. Bill teachs many different types of processes. Everything from jewelry fabrication, lost wax casting, wax design, forged jewelry in the jewelry field. As well as forged, fabricated, and/or cast architectural metal work. Just about anything in the metal arts field. Sculpture, lighting, furniture, gates, railings etc.... And He also teachs hot glass work.....lamp work. Beads and small vessels. "The only thing that I enjoy as much as using these processes....is teaching them to others." |
