Work Experience

Debra Montgomery Fine Metal Sculpture

Owner

As a spur off from our main company, The Metal Shoppe, I started my own business focusing on smaller art pieces such as free standing metal sculptures, copper art and will soon be adding artistic metal enameling to my repertoire.

In September of 2010, I also started a business making and selling chasers pitch, Pitch It To You - Chasing & Repousse Pitch. This is a pine rosin based pitch used for repousse and chasing work.

Welder / Metal Fabricator

Changed careers in 2000 to become a welder. During my apprenticeships, I had the opportunity to work with a blacksmith artistist and was hooked on the artistic aspect of welding and metal fabrication. Continued working for various welding shops until my husband and I started The Metal Shoppe in 2004.
