Open Artist Studio – Richard Royal

Richard Royal, a native of the Northwest and resident of Seattle, is recognized internationally as one of the most skilled and talented glassblowers in the studio glass movement. His sensitivity and natural affinity towards the material reveal themselves within his extensive body of work. Richard’s artistic approach combines harmony, fluidity and bold abundance to deliver gracefully attenuated pieces that speak of saturated luminosity and lived experiences.

Royal’s work is found in such noteworthy museum collections as The Mint Museum of Art + Design, The High Museum, the New Orleans Museum of Art, The Tampa Museum of Art, and the Daiichi Museum (Japan). Royal was also one of the first Artists-in-Residences at the Waterford Crystal Factory.
