George Frampton, whom Anning Bell worked under in London, became the leader of the Craft of Sculptors and The Art Workers Guild in 1884. He was largely responsible for encouraging artists to expand the variety of their materials and techniques. Anning Bell became a master of the Art Worker's Guild and, in addition to his paintings, made polychrome plaster relief images in the Arts and Crafts style. It was Robert Anning Bell who designed mosaics for the Houses of Parliament and also Westminster Cathedral.
