About Us
At Bent Metal Works we create amazing art pieces, which are both functional and stylish. Metal is used as the primary medium, however wood and glass are incorporated as well in order to accent the work. The combination of industrial steel with the natural soft features of wood and the delicate touches of glass make our work unique and beautiful. Recycling, reusing, and repurposing waste has always been important, but now more than ever it feels essential for our planet and our future. With this being said, at Bent Metal Works we try to “up-cycle” whenever possible. “Up-cycling” is the process of taking old (and seemingly useless) waste and recreating it into something new and wonderfully useful again. This transformation of the old becoming new again, creates excellent duality in the work. Incorporating different styles and themes allows us to create powerful pieces of art, which are both functional pleasing to the eye. We hope you enjoy the many different creations that Bent Metal Works has to offer. Thank you.
About Damien
Damien Teitelbaum
Damien Teitelbaum is a custom metal artist and freelance welder living in beautiful Bend, Oregon.
Damien Teitelbaum was born and raised in Glen Ellen, California. After graduating from Sonoma Valley High School, he made the move to Santa Cruz where he studied Earth Science at the University of California Santa Cruz. In and outside of school Damien has studied metal craft, photography, woodworking, auto maintenance, and music, along with attending many art classes including drawing, painting, and sculpting. After graduating UCSC with a degree in Earth Science, he decided that ski bumming was in his future. Fulfilling his dream of living in the Rocky Mountains, Teitelbaum relocated to the beautiful town of Crested Butte, Colorado. 10 inspiring years later, it was time to make yet another change in his life. Bend Oregon! Damien moved to the town of Bend in November of 2015 to pursue his passion for custom metal work and fabrication.
Welding and metal work has always stood out as being a favorite art medium for Teitelbaum. Intrigued with custom design and rewarded with the fulfillment of fabrication, Damien’s love for functional art grew over time (and practice). His drive and desire to travel has taken him on many adventures around the world. Damien has explored Central and South America, South East Asia, Europe, Canada, Alaska, and of course, all over the lower 48. Being exposed to these very different places around our globe has had a dramatic effect in his visions of functional art and custom fabrication. Culture, lifestyle, architecture, religion, food, music, and the people he has met, are all sources of inspiration and this translates in his metal work in many ways. The strong art presence in Bend, Oregon has been a catalyst for his ambition to create beautiful and functional works that can be used and enjoyed. Teitelbaum is proud to become part of this vibrant, healthy, and every growing art scene in our Pacific Northwest.
