Welcome. I’m Ruth Singer, an artist & maker exploring personal and collective narratives through textiles. I create for exhibitions, commissions and projects and support other artists through resources and Maker Membership. I also research and write, and I love generating my own projects, artist residencies and making exciting projects happen. All of my work, across all of these different aspects is centred around making with meaning. I am fascinated by the hidden stories of care in all our lives and in historic objects and places. My work grows from research and contemplation and from collaborating with others. Some of my current projects are listed below, including exhibitions, group programmes, podcast and courses.
