Ruth works from her garden studio creating one off textile pieces with dyed or printed cloth, embellished further with free-motion stitching and hand embroidery. Inspiration is drawn from her surroundings, the landscape, wild flowers, the ever-changing weather or the beautiful ocean.   Experiments are made with different materials and processes, often challenging herself and the materials, trying to capture the essence of the subject matter. The end results come in a range of forms including pieces to be framed, journal covers and three dimensional structures.

Join Ruth in a beautiful location, creating your own hand embroidery on vintage cotton to cover button brooches.

The workshop includes tea or coffee on arrival, a light lunch and tea or coffee with cake in the afternoon.
