Born in Salisbury, Michael Lloyd initially trained at the School of Jewellery and Silversmithing in Birmingham before moving to the Royal College of Art. His work is charged with references to natural forms, growth and the seasons.

He says of himself "I am a compulsive maker, a lover of nature. I try to express a spiritual dimension, where the work becomes an act of homage both to our landscape and our increasingly fragile sense of creativity."
