As a master of silver clay, copper clay, and base metal clays, Richard’s work is inspired by capturing the beauty of nature, garden and marine plants and, by contrast, modern concrete structures.

His talent has been recognised globally, with his work featured at the prestigious International Silver Accessories Contest in Tokyo and at the Galleria Legnica, Poland along with several exhibitions across the UK, including The Open Gallery in Halifax, Millennium Gallery, Sheffield, Cluster Contemporary Jewellery Exhibition in London and 2 showcase exhibitions at Forge in Hatton Garden, London.
