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.

Charlotte Barker reviewed: Half Day (3 hours) Introduction to Arc or Stick Welding, with award winning metal artist, Roger Russell

"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."

"Dad and I had a fun morning but the course details are misleading. We did not produce anything and only practiced the real basics, with very little guidance. We also had to share equipment so restricted the time each of us had. It was a great concept to enjoy father / daughter time but very expensive for what we did. "

"Dear Karan, glad you had fun morning . I agree the details of the 3 hour introductory to welding course were not very clear, and people may have thought they could learn to weld and make a dragon fly sculpture in 3 hours , on the cover photo . I have amended the course title and details to make it clear its just a basic learn to weld course . I have also added details about having the correct glass's to be able to see when welding. By way of compensation for your disappointment with my course , I would like to offer you and your dad a free morning or afternoon course where i can guarantee you will take home a steel dragon fly like the one in the cover picture . Kind Regards Roger "

"Never welded before except to a desk. What a great day, learned arc and mig from scratch. Roger is very patient and provides loads of great tips and info. Took loads if a pictures off processes and the range of tools that I now need to get. Thanks Roger."
