The Artist

Bob the Bender®

(Robert Fragale)

Bob the Bender® has been transforming discarded silverware into extraordinary works of art for over two decades. Working from his studio, he bends, welds, and sculpts each piece entirely by hand — no molds, no machines, no two pieces alike. His work has been featured in galleries, art fairs, and private collections across the country.
