Ruth Praill

My work consists mainly of jewellery and silverware, using a mix of sterling silver and gold. I also use semi precious, natural stones, beads, sea glass and shell. I have recently started working with enamels to add even more colour.

My inspiration comes from anything and everything, but I like to think my work reflects my personality - not to be taken too seriously, a bit mad and rather fun? I am mostly interested in design and the making process. Whilst challenging and satisfying, is really only the means to the end: which is to see the design ‘in the flesh’. I also enjoy experimenting with tools and materials - this can often lead to new ideas for designing which is always very exciting!
