Philip Melling

England

I am an artist predominantly working in metals, I create an eclectic range of large and small scale sculptures for private clients and public art commissions. You can find my artworks at philipmelling.co.uk I am also a freelance fabricator and can take on small - medium fabrication projects. I am skilled in MIG welding and have experience with other welding processes such as MMA, TIG and Brazing. I also have a lot of experience in flame cutting, metal manipulation and finishing. My practice also includes working with laser-cut designs, sometimes using softer materials such as wood and plastics. I also design and paint wall murals, which have transformed run-down public spaces. I have experience in running workshops in both resistant and soft materials, with people of all ages and abilities. I have worked extensively with schools and community groups and often my commissions involve workshop related projects.

What do you love most about your job?

Whether is it making my own sculpture or fabricating metalworks for others, the process of creating something from a raw or stock material, and seeing it grow and evolve.

The magic of welding!

Achieving a high level finish

Seeing the finished article installed

What inspired you to start your own business?

Being placed with an established metal artist when I was at university - I had paid work experience with him that taught me a lot about sculpture and metal fabrication. This changed my direction and led to starting my own practice as soon as I left University.

Why should our clients choose you?

I have a very particular attention to detail and produce very neat metalwork.
When fabricating for others I use the same exacting standards as I would for my own work.

Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.

Fabrication cannot be delivered online, but project proposals and costing can, as well as concept design and simple CAD drawings.

What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?

I work alone so can easily work and keep distance from others. If a larger project requires more people I am strict on my polices to keep distance, wearing masks and washing hands.
I ensure distance is kept when accepting deliveries and am careful in my general life to follow guidelines.
I always carry a mask and hand gel.
