What would you most like to make that you haven’t so far?
This is a hard question as I am constantly changing and evolving my ideas & style. I would like to incorporate more silver work into my
jewellery so will most probably do a silver smith course at some point or collaborate with a silversmith at some stage. I still feel like a child
in a sweetie shop and I am constantly learning and being excited by the material, the process and equipment I work with.

What is your favourite piece you’ve ever created, and what made it so special?
I really like one of the woven glass pieces I recently created for Marion Baur. I really like it shape and colour and the response I received from
the customers at the show. I’m sure I will adapt this and make it more commercial.
•
Who are your favourite designers? What other ‘makers’ do you admire or would you recommend?
I’m not sure I have one, there are so many creative designers out there. I’ve just bought myself a lovely ring & necklace by Angela Davison
Goldsmith. I love her combination of simple design with colour. Her new enamelled range of silver jewellery is amazing. We have some
great ‘makers’ & craftspeople in Northern Ireland and should be proud to support them.

Where can customers purchase your work from, what events do you attend, do you have a website/
facebo ok/twitter pages?
I trade direct to the customer each Saturday & Sunday at St George’s Market, Belfast. I have a jewellery cabinet at the Hilton Hotel, Belfast &
the Hilton Templepatrick Hotel & Country Club. The Bankhouse, Whitehead and Kingfisher Craft Gallery, Killyleagh sell a range of my glass
products. My Facebo ok page is facebo ok.com/Ruthwalkerglassartist, Twitter @ruthwalkerglass and Website www.ruthwalkerglass
