Artist Talks, with the Bluecoat Display Centre

Tuesday 24 September, 1:00 for 1:30pm
Artist Talks, with the Bluecoat Display Centre

In conjunction with the Bluecoat Display Centre, the next Artist talk will feather enamel artist Ruth
Ball who will speak about her artistic career. Ruth first spoke at the Athenaeum in 2014 about her
practice, she now returns as her career has developed and she has explored new avenues. This
includes Ruth’s time as artist in residence at Royal Liverpool University Hospital. This was as part
of Bluecoat Display Centre’s outreach programme, Ruth taught printmaking to those living with
dementia. This was also a valuable experience for Ruth, as this was her first time working directly with
patients and in the hospital environment.
Ruth uses the fusion of glass on metal to produce a diverse collection. These range in scale from fine
jewellery pieces and bespoke objects to larger wall-based artworks. Items are made as “one-offs” or in
small batches as limited editions. Her work can be found in selected gallery outlets and various national
and international exhibitions

£15.00 per person, including Afternoon Tea.
