During her studies
she achieved top prizes in the Royal Society of Arts Award and The Platinum
Competition, more recently she was granted a British Society of Enamellers
Bursary to study large scale enamelling in 2009
and achieved a Commended Award
in the Goldsmiths Craft and Design Comptition in 2011.
Experiance as a
part time lecturer in Further & Higher Education, coupled with years of
practice in trade enamelling, has meant that she has accomplished a wide skill
base. Keen to pass on her knowledge, she was commissioned by publishers A&C
Black to write a book about enamel techniques and she is now recognised
internationally as being practised in a variety of enamel methods.
The extent of her
making spans contemporary jewellery, fine silverware and unique artworks for
public or private display. Observation of colour and light in everyday
environments sustains her modern design style. Moreover her art based,
painterly approach to enamelling underpins the elegant sense of beauty in her
work.
Today, the
conception of one off pieces, and limited edition ranges are her prime focus.
Ruth’s covetable enamels are available through selected exhibitions and
specialist galleries or via her website.
Commissions for exclusive bespoke
pieces are welcome.
