Richard Yeomans studied Fine Art at Coventry
College of Art and the University of Newcastle-on-Tyne during
the 1960s. He trained as a secondary school teacher at
Goldsmiths’ College, University of London, and later gained an
MA in art education at the University of Central England and a
Ph.D at the Institute of Education, University of London. In
