🦂 Handmade Metal Scorpion Sculpture

Crafted by UK-based artist and sculptor Nick, this striking scorpion sculpture is a one-of-a-kind creation forged from upcycled stainless steel and antique surgical instruments. Each piece is meticulously handmade using a combination of stick/arc welding and MIG welding techniques, resulting in a bold fusion of industrial craftsmanship and artistic flair.

No two sculptures are ever the same—every scorpion is made to order, ensuring a truly unique and original design that reflects the individuality of its maker.

The majority of the sculpture is crafted from stainless steel, which is resistant to rust and ideal for display in a home, office, or garden. However, please note that the welded areas may show signs of surface oxidation over time due to the nature of the welding process.

What sets this piece apart:

🔧 Handmade by an individual UK artist
🔩 Constructed from scrap metal and antique medical tools
🔥 Welded using stick/arc and MIG welding
🌱 Upcycled materials with a sustainable ethos
🏡 Perfect for indoor or outdoor display
📦 Nationwide UK shipping available

Whether you're drawn to its intricate detail or its bold presence, this sculpture is more than décor—it's a conversation starter, a testament to craftsmanship, and a celebration of originality.
