Photos of the workbench, taken in the workshop in France.
Chapter 3: Signature and number
Small differences are proof of handwork.
Each work comes with a certificate. The photo shows one example of a certificate. It is written in French and says the following (our translation).
“This work was conceived and created by Patrick Richard. All production in the workshop is done by hand. The small differences between works are proof that they are handmade. Each is unique within its theme, and is numbered and signed.”
