Rhythmic Metal is a small but active metal sculpture studio in the Mississippi district of Portland that is known for repurposing/recycling used bicycle components. Currently working on helping to establish a training program for new shop interns involving all stages of metal fabrication including etching & welding in a safe and detail oriented environment with a lot of activity and minimal elbow room. In addition I am helping to grow the business in terms of marketing programs and incorporating guest artists.
