Online event, hosted on Zoom by Ruby Taylor of Native Hands
Ruby’s practice is materials-led (using clay and plant fibres); she is concerned with origins and connection and the immersive, sensory experience of making; inspired by the dialogue that emerges between the maker’s hands and the materials. Immersed in the whole cycle of production: harvesting direct from the landscape in a sustainable and respectful way, processing the raw materials, creating functional and sculptural pieces.
Her work is also informed by extended periods of silent contemplative practice in the natural world, and being a team member of an archaeology & museums partnership for a number of years, which involved co-building prehistoric style dwellings.
A trained educator and maker with over 30 years’ experience, Ruby regularly runs courses as Native Hands in Sussex woodland and at UK heritage sites.
She has been commissioned by Wakehurst Kew a number of times to create large-scale works, including Hazel Holloway 2023 in Pearcelands Wood.

Event description
In this Meet the Maker, there’s an opportunity to meet Ruby Taylor, see cordage samples she’s made from various wild, foraged plant materials ahead of the upcoming Wild Cordage workshop, and ask questions. She’ll also be showing looped and knotted bags that she’s made with natural cordage. We’ll be talking about the origins of string, how Ruby became fascinated with it and now has a collection of over 40 samples she’s made from different foraged plant fibres.
Event recording
The event will be recorded and the recording will be sent to ticket holders after the event. Please allow 7 working days for us to send you the recording.
Cancellation policy
All Meet the Maker sessions are non-refundable.
