Barbie The Welder is an American metal sculptor, published author of six books, and an advocate for the skilled trades from Pompano Beach, Florida.
Growing up in a deeply creative home, Barbie’s Mom is a published cartoonist and her Dad a jack of all trades, Barbie was encouraged by both parents to work with her hands and mind to create. Inspired by the movie Cast Away, starring Tom hanks, Barbie attended an adult welding program at Elmira, New York Boces in November 2007 and was hired at Cameron Manufacturing And Design in Horseheads, New York in March 2008 where she learned the art of welding and fabrication from the brilliant craftsman she worked with. Barbie took her fabrication skills home and taught herself how to design and create art in her garage after work at night and on the weekends.
Barbie quit her job she loved to realize her dream and become a full-time artist September 1, 2014.
Because of the influence Bob Ross had on her growing up, Barbie began teaching how to weld art through her TH-cam channel in 2015 after not being able to find resources to learn.
Soon after she was invited by a publisher to write a book teaching how to weld art, and How To Weld Horseshoe Art; 30 Projects You Can Easily Weld At Home was born. Barbie went on to write and self publish five more books, How To Weld Scrap Metal Art; 30 Easy Welding Projects You Could Make At Home, How To Weld Silverware Animals Metal Art Welding Projects For Fun and Profit, The Inspiration Blueprint; How To Design and Create Your Inspired Life, Fuck You Fuel; How To Turn Shit Into Sugar, and The Artist Guide To Branding, Marketing and Selling Art Online.
Working with Bogi Latiner for a month in 2017 on Bogi’s Girl Gang Garage all woman’s frame up build of a 57 Chevy pick up later unveiled at Sema became a mentorship for Barbie that continues to help her grow herself and her business. Barbies other inspirations include Indian Larry and Billy Lane both who caught her attention through the TV series biker build off in early 2000. The craftsmanship and creativity of both men spoke to her soul.
Barbie started out riding on the gas tank of her dad‘s Honda motorcycle because she was too little to hold on sitting behind him, so when she was asked by Jesse James Dupree, lead singer of Jackyl, to design and create two sculptures for Harley Davidson she jumped at the chance driving the 24 hours to Sturgis by herself from NY and sculpting HOGs 35th anniversary sculpture live at Sturgis motorcycle rally at the Pappy Hoyle Campground and then she returned home to sculpt Harley Davidson’s 115th anniversary sculpture in her garage which was later presented to Harley Davidson on stage during the Jackyl concert at the 115 anniversary celebration in Milwaukee.
Barbie has welded live at Americade Motorcycle Rally, SEMA show in Vegas for Miller Welders, Harley Davidsons 115th Anniversary, and at shows and events up and down the east coast.
Barbie has designed and created sculptures for Miller Welders, the American Welding Society, Chicago Pneumatic, Carolina Shoe Company, two cities and clients in many countries.

I have been doing this ten years full time , it is a lot of work. My work is wall stuff mostly but I still love junk art carry on...big hug
Thank you so very much for the love! Happy Welding my friend!
Great to see your Awsome devotion and dedication to your passion.
You have inspired me to get back to creating again. The film industry has distracted me a bit😅
Cheers
From North Vancouver
Thank you so very much for the love! I appreciate you!!☺️⚡️❤️🔥👩🏻🏭
I just ordered your book you need to write another one on scrap sculptures like railroad spikes and nuts and bolts.
You are very talented I must say and beautiful
You’re so sweet. Thank you so much human. I appreciate you!🫶🏻☺️
Barbie the welder...I'm so glad you share these vids. I'm a hacker welder but I take heart by watching you weld. Thanks
+Wayne Colby You should have seen my welds when I started! It's taken me 10 years of daily practice and I still have a ton of room for improvement!! 😊
I made two of the Bowman...A big one as dad and a smaller one as his son.lol only burned a finger or two off them. Thanks again...for the vids.
+Wayne Colby awesome idea! The dad and kid not the burned fingers!😊
Great video! I'm retired and got into mig welding horse shoes a few months ago. I'm sure my kids are sick of the stuff I unload on them. I make a lot of desk nameplates where I weld the name, grind it down and lacquer it. Keep on making the videos!
Mark Dengler . I’d like to see an example of one of your nameplates.
A unique inspiration to others, and with that much passion, you deserve to be successful in all that you do
I’m honored! Thank you!
I am so proud of you Barbie!
+Alva Greist Sr Alva you helped get me here!! You spent countless hours teaching me fabrication! I appreciate you!!!
I love your videos very inspiring . I had never really tried metal art until I was introduced to your channel through welding tips and tricks thank you this has opened up a new world for me .
I’m so happy to hear!! 💙👩🏭
Keep doing, what you doing, because you are so darn good, and you are winner!
Amazing ..
Follow your PASSION .... nothing worse than doing something you dislike to get by, as opposed to doing something you love ...
Like you stated "Barbie" .. you have to Breathe it ...
I really love your dedication, and your work !!!
You have inspired me to pull out my 'old mig machine' and get the grey matter to work overtime ...
All I need to do , is find me some "metal scrapper places"
Keep up what you are doing, I really do believe it IS amazing !!
Thankyou from 'Down Under"
Aussie Mike.

Great video !!!!
Inspiring!
Barbie,
I noticed you have one entire arm tattooed.
When (or if) are you going to do the other one?
That is if you want a matching set. Of course magic markers work good too (you can wash them off and redo those). 😉🤠🤣
After I build my 48 Ford and take her cross country I’m getting the other sleeve done featuring the car and trip!☺️💙👩🏭
I'd love to see the$ both when they're done!
I'd love to see them both when they're done!
you have to want it, that's for sure.
scraping metal wtf you come a long way i guess congrats!
If I can do it anyone can!!! Thanks for the support!
good video
I like to think I spend more time working to support my kids than I do WITH my kids. It still sucks but I can remember WHY i'm doing it.
+silveravnt Definitely a balancing act!💙👩🏭
I just started welding, I have a passion for it and I’m currently using flux core, do you think that’s ok or should I save up for a Mig?
Flux core is a MIG just uses a gasless wire. I personally find it easier to see your weld puddle with a gas mig but that’s preference you can weld the silverware with a flux core welder
I watched an older video Were you mentioned all the people that did not support your move to quit your welding job Including your parents If I were your parents I would have said no to Unless I was independently wealthy and could support Your dreams my father said it Would be a miracle if I got a private pilot's license and rightly so I had no money and severe dyslexia I did get that private pilot license in owned 2 airplanes haven't flown in like 10 years now Anyway Don't be too hard on your parents Trust in God PSI love your videos and just bought my 1st gas X settling And I'm burning up all kinds of metal having A-blast
I am very close with my parents and I love them dearly. They didn’t want me to because of their fear and wanting to not see me fail. I understand! I’m happy everyone who said I would fail because it was fuel for my fire!!
whats thename of your hometown , i didnt catch it
+Hunt Bancroft Erin, NY
Do you ever get people coming to you to fix their shot or fabricate something for them?
+Harry Powers I only make art now but I used to do repairs when I first started on my own. 💙👩🏭
I'm just starting fabrication and body and paint after 30 years
Ohhh.... HOW I wish there were more women like you. I'm not interested in all the "carbon-copy hairdressers" running around.
+LincTexPilot 😊There are a ton of women out there like me, we are hard to find because we are busy building our empire and not out hanging out all the time. 💙👩🏭
CLEAR YOUR THROAT!
