Maker's bio

I have been sculpting, fabricating and teaching metalwork since 2002 using a wide range of skills and techniques. I have run my own metal sculpture practice as well as freelanced for sculpture and set making companies including The Royal Opera House. I love teaching and have a huge amount of experience working with people of all ages either one on one or with groups. I am City & Guilds qualified and currently teach C&G Welding at Plumpton College.

Phill reviewed: Introduction to Metalwork & Welding - for 1 or 2 People

"I wanted to learn more about metal work and have a go on a few tools before getting myself setup at home. Phillip is a great teacher, patient and very knowledgeable and gave me lots of hints and tips about the best way to get started at home. Plasma cutting, welding, working with the forge, angle cutting and grinding. I even made a start on my dream project - a weathervane. I would highly recommend! "

Philip Melling Sculpture, Art & Design responded:

"Hi Phill, Thanks so much for your kind review - it was a pleasure having you in the workshop. Good luck setting up your workspace and feel free to get in touch if you need any advice on anything! Philip"

Claire & Martin Kelley reviewed: Metal Sculpture Workshop - 1 or 2 Days

"A superb day! Philip is not only an excellent & knowledgeable craftsman, but also just the sort of teacher you want, to guide you through the daunting array of equipment, materials & processes to be found in his wonderfully equipped workshop. Philip’s in-depth explanations & talented demonstration gave me the confidence to truly explore the previously dark art that is metalwork. "

Philip Melling Sculpture, Art & Design responded:

"Ah - thanks so much! It was a really fun day with both of you and I’m so glad you enjoyed it. You are more than welcome back any time you want to get deeper and darker! Philip "
