About The Artist
Ruth Thompson
- Willow Artist & Craft Worker,
Hexham, Northumberland, UK
Ruth Thompson has been making hurdles for about eight
years. Beginning with Hazel rods, coppiced locally, Ruth then
moved on to Willow which is easier to obtain and can be manipulated
into a greater range of products.
Ruth works near Corbridge in Northumberland and has begun developing
new products using her own boiled (buff) and stripped (white)
willow.
