The Tradesman Project
We’ve commissioned internationally-acclaimed metal sculptor and skilled trades advocate Barbie The Welder to create a one-of-a-kind metal art sculpture that reflects what the skilled industrial trades means to her and the tradesmen and -women in the energy, manufacturing and construction sectors. A welder by trade for 14 years and sculptor for the past 8, Barbie is a fierce advocate for the skilled trades and her brothers and sisters currently building, operating and maintaining the world around us. This life-sized sculpture—The Tradesman—will serve as tribute to the contributions and legacy of skilled tradespeople across the country. Follow her progress and learn more.
