Ruth Thompson, Ruth Thompson (Studio Furniture 2018)

After 35 years as a high school teacher, I am living the good life in my studio/shed. I enjoy working with fine materials, combining beautiful timber and textiles into objects that I hope will be passed through a generation or two. I describe my aesthetic as a melange of Bauhaus, Shaker and Arts and Crafts; quiet shapes teamed with extravagant decoration.
