Ruby Taylor - Native Hands.

Ruby is a potter, basket maker, bush crafter and educator facilitating immersive nature experiences through outdoor workshops in materials-led processes. Ruby crafts functional and sculptural objects from locally foraged materials, including plant fibres and clay, and teaches others to do so too. Her mission is to reframe our culture’s approach to materialism through celebrating natural resources, their sustainable harvest and the traditional wisdom and knowledge of working with them.
