Joe Malin - Plainville, Kansas - 1928-2010

Copper Rod Art

Joe Malin was a man of few words but loved to create with wire and sheet metal. After work in farming and the oil field, he became a self-taught artist in his last 15 years. Most of his welded creations were fashioned from a heavy 8-gauge wire.. Most relate to the old "Wild West", and his sense of humor is often quite evident.  Joe and his wife Rita had 9 children who were the recipients of much of his work.  If they needed a weather vane, a table to hold sheet music, or an office storage unit, he would get the creative juices flowing and design a piece with "A bit of attitute". he was very please with the farm machinery of day-gone-by, which he created from memory.
