Ralph Shuttleworth

Ralph is a contemporary sculptor and designer working in wood and metals to create pieces with intriguing textures and form. His material led design process forms sculptures which push the materials to new areas, using bending and casting techniques he has developed.

Ralph’s work is inspired by the making processes, and how this can influence the overall form and surface of the sculpture. This forms a somewhat symbiotic relationship between the material’s properties, and Ralph’s design ideas, which then come together to form the final piece.
