Richard Fisher

Richard Fisher was born in 1953 in the historic market town of Richmond, North Yorkshire. He spent most of his school years living in Middleton Tyas where his father was employed as an estate worker and his mother worked as secretary to the local land owner.

His interest in metal work began at an early age – beginning with the obligatory wrought iron table lamp which he made whilst attending his senior school at Richmond.

He moved to Darlington, with his family, during his latter teenage years.  It was here that he went to the local college and then went on to do an apprenticeship and become a plant fitter where he worked mainly on heavy construction equipment.

In 2005 he was happy to return to his home town of Richmond, North Yorkshire where he lives with his wife who works at the recently renovated Richmond Station.  He also has two sons and three grandchildren.

Throughout his adult life Richard Fisher has been involved in working creatively with metal be it ornamental or functional.

He currently works from home and his creation of musical figures stems from his own interest in playing the guitar in a band during the '80's and enjoying live music.
