Ruth Hyndman
Ruth Hyndman's Home Collection offers exquisite art as functional ceramics and textiles, achieving beauty in function and in form. Vases that display flowers in stunning arrays; Hefty bowls that entice one to food; Cushions - the ultimate in comfort. Each piece has a visual presence and identity of its own, reflecting themes of quality, integrity, contrast in form and neutrality of colour.
Ruth brings elements of her life, her aesthetic and her work to you in this collection created in her studio in Marin, CA.
Surrounded by a family of artists, writers, musicians and teachers, Ruth grew up close to Cambridge, England. After obtaining an honours degree in graphic design in Canterbury, England, Ruth worked as a graphic designer in London's West End for five years. In 1992 she moved to California. She made the transition to ceramics in the late 1990s, when she created her own studio and began working towards her Home Collection.
Ruth produces a variety of work in clay. She hand builds, with coils, one of a kind minimalist sculptures and sculptural vessels in low fire white clay. The pieces are either underglazed or glazed to give varying degrees of texture and come in pale whites, celadon, grays and neutrals.
Ruth has pieces in various private collections in London, Los Angeles, New York and the San Francisco Bay Area, and has undertaken a number of private commissions for both individuals and interior designers.
