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.

"Me and my son had a great day with Roger, we learnt arc and mig mostly, got to make some dragonfly sculptures to take home as well, Roger is a great teacher very patient and willing to give advice after the course if you need help buying a welder for yourself. Would highly recommend to anyone wanting to try this skill out."

"We had such fun with Roger. My son Jack is 10 years old and Roger was able to introduce him to welding which we thought was great. He is super passionate and an excellent teacher. This 3 hour session is now seamlessly welded into our memories as one of our most top rated experiences together. Thanks Roger! "

"I purchased the 3 hour welding course for my partners birthday. Roger was extremely welcoming on arrival, run us through the different welding techniques and most importantly safety. We had the opportunity to test our very beginner welding skills on test pieces and then moved onto welding together a dragon fly. The end result was far from perfection but something to be proud to hang in the garden at home. If you are a complete beginner, advanced or something in-between Roger will be able to taylor a course to suit your needs."
