In this month's episode of Weld Wednesday I am chatting with the ladies behind the all new Arc 2 Art Sculpture.  Once completed the sculpture will tour the U.S. in the AWS Careers in Welding Trailer. The sculpture is the collaborated work of Artists Stephanie Hoffman and Barbie the Welder. What makes this sculpture so unique is that each artist is working on it from two separate locations. Barbie is in New York Building the Sculpture, and Stephanie is in New Jersey building the stand, welding hood, and all of the accessories. This is an epic build between 2 very talented artists.
