Richard Cooper Studio

Cooper's goal was to experiment with how much fine detail one could get into a miniature sculpture. The amount of work that goes into each sculpture is the same as would be the case for larger artwork, such is the delicacy of texture and shape of each one. With an in-house sculpting team led by Michael Simpson, their collections have become extremely popular.

Animal themed sculpture

The Richard Cooper Studio collections are always full of lots of treats for lovers of animals. Wildlife fans will have plenty to be pleased about in our wide selection of their sculptures which includes hares, ravens, pigs, dachshunds, foxes, ravens and much more. Exploring this collection is like walking through an idyllic British countryside scene, full of adorable animals, teeming with life and the powerful spirit of nature.

Finely crafted artwork

The sculptures in the Richard Cooper Studio collections have been crafted by some of the finest artists working in the industry today. The range brings together not only a number of different animals, but also of different mediums. Take your pick from hand-painted cold cast bronze sculptures, nickel plated resin sculptures, and hand-painted fine bone china sculptures. Feast your eyes on offerings from world-renowned animal and nature sculptors such as Michael Simpson and Keith Sherwin.

Traditional techniques

The Richard Cooper Studio had a big point of difference from the start when they started rehabilitated traditional techniques. A primary technique was, for example, that of cold painting bronze, a process which was loved in the Victorian period but for a while went out of practice. Their first collections were primarily crafted by Michael Simpson. Keith Sherwin has more recently added much to the Richard Cooper Studio. His coated nickel resin sculptures are richly emotive, depicting the strong and loving bond between families in the animal kingdom.
