Richard Messina

Born in Italy in 1955, he has practiced the art of metalsmithing for the last 30 years. He is becoming widely known for his simple, clean forged work, so consistent with his philosophy that Less is More. His guiding principle of "form follows function" has led to innovative Hi-Tech earrings and forged pins and collars.

Richard is currently absorbed in hammering precious metals. He works in his studio in Round Top NY with his partner Anne Landfield.
