Maker's bio

I am a wire sculpture artist and teacher of my craft. I have been making wire sculpture with tin copper wire for over 30 years. Soldering skills are the key to my sculpture work. 30 years of working with heavy duty and very fine wire, enables me to make a wide range of wire sculptures from 14 gauge wire down to 36 gauge. With welding and many other fabrications skills I am able to make and teach a wide variety of sculptures in a wide variety of materials in fine detail.

Penelope Ingham reviewed: One student - full day 6 hours , Welded Dragon fly . Introduction to artistic welding metal sculpture with Roger Russell

"This course was a Christmas present from my wife, and what a great day out it was too. Roger was infinitely patient with me, a total welding novice. We went through the different welding techniques, why and in what circumstances one should be used over the others, the various types of welder, including the safety aspects of each. Roger’s course is centred around the making of a dragon fly from scratch, which is a very clever way of using all techniques and equipment and have something to take home at the end of the day. Even if you don’t ever do anymore welding, you will have obtained a new skill and have had a great day out. As for myself, well my garden is in danger of being filled with hand made sculptures! Thanks Roger. "

"I took part in Roger's artistic welding course and I am very satisfied. Roger proved to be extremely kind, patient and helpful. During the classes, he allowed me to carry out my own project, thanks to which I was able to combine learning with creative work. The atmosphere on the course was relaxed but professional at the same time — the perfect combination. I recommend this course to anyone who wants to develop their welding skills in a more artistic direction and create something truly their own. Thanks Roger"
