Articles by Ruby Taylor

A trained teacher, with over 15 years’ experience, Ruby is appreciated for her ability to teach the techniques of basketry and pottery with clarity, patience and humour. Her courses have a relaxed and inclusive atmosphere. From both formal training and her own experimentation with foraged materials, Ruby has a breadth and depth of knowledge, including an interest in the origins and history of basketry and ceramics. "I enjoy providing a supportive space in which others can develop their creativity and technical knowledge as well as their connection with the natural world. It’s great to witness the sense of achievement and satisfaction that comes from making a basket or pot this way. I’m also inspired by seeing how people can feel deeply nourished and inspired by the whole experience of taking time out of an often busy and stressful daily life to be creative in the woods round a fire, with birdsong, creatures, wild plants and like-minded people."
