WORKING FROM A BUSHLAND STUDIO IN SMYTHES CREEK, VICTORIA

The Pilven family legacy

The Process

Drawing on her printmaking background, Ruby often marries her passion for printmaking and ceramics in her jewellery and ceramics work by creating layers of colour and pattern

The Nerikomi Technique

Her work is a contemporary twist on the Japanese technique called Nerikomi, hand-building with coloured clay.

The Balance

Ruby's work oscillates between structured techniques and chance operations.
