Jon Lys Turner completed his Masters degree at the Royal College of Art in the mid 1980s. He was taught by the late Richard Chopping who, with his partner Denis Wirth-Miller, became Turner’s lifetime mentors introducing him to their extraordinary world as well as to many of their friends. Indoctrination included many drunken evenings with Francis Bacon, or in contrast taking Bloomsbury tea with 102 year old Frances Partridge in her Belgravia home. 

For the last thirty years Turner has worked at the top of the UK design industry for many of the world’s leading brands.
