Artist Statement

From my garden studio in Shrewsbury, I create a range of porcelain bowls, wall hangings and sculptures. Combining my love of photography, printmaking and ceramics, I use bold screen-printed images in black and white, as well as soft and delicate blues and greens. 


From chunky platters to small delicate shell-like bowls; as well as range of complimentary porcelain jewellery, including earrings, pendants, brooches and buttons.I seek to enhance the qualities of porcelain and to reflect nature in my work.      


The whiteness of a perfectly round pebble found on a beach, the seemingly scratched patterns found in stones and the smoothness of sea worn shells inspire the design and surface quality.

BACKGROUND

I have been self-employed  as an artist for over 30 years. Having run a successful designer/maker hand made gift business for 15 years, I went back to study at the age of 35. I graduated with a First Class Honours degree in Ceramics and Sculpture in 2003. 


I have taught  at the University of Wolverhampton on the Applied Arts degree covering Professional Practice and Creative Industry modules with final year degree students, as well as ceramic techniques to all levels. I also lead workshops in ceramics, ceramics and print, and deliver workshops and talks in schools and colleges to all ages and levels of ability.


Over the last 15 years I have been involved in Public Art, Sculpture and Project Management, working with bricks and ceramics, and have been an Arts Council funded artist. I have been involved in a wide variety of projects as joint lead artist and project manager of Benchart, our public art company based in Shrewsbury. 


Ruth Gibson Ceramics exhibits widely throughout galleries in the UK and at National  Ceramic Shows and events such at 'Earth and Fire' and 'Art in Clay', and International Ceramics Biennial at Aberystwyth.

Abraham Darby Academy, Telford
Thanks Ruth for a fantastic experience for both our teachers and our pupils. The tile tree project not only represents our Academy ethos really well - looking terrific now in our reception - but also has given pupils a real insight into the creative and commissioning process - which will equip them in their future creativity, whatever future path they take. Having undergone the whole process - brief > client liaison > design > redesign > materials tests > make > remake > site selection/measure up > installation > evaluation - takes them through the real life process of working as a designer maker - a totally challenging and engaging path, which is fantastic to have offered them in KS4. Its been a total pleasure to work with you [and Mike] and we've really appreciated all the extra hours you've put in to make the outcome so polished and complete. You have left us with a lasting legacy that the pupils are rightly proud of, that will grace our wall for many years yet. Our creativity showcase is on the 17th May, so we look forward to welcoming you back to that event, to officially open the piece.

Director of Oriel Plas Glyn Y Weddw
Ruth Gibson's 'Mapping Llŷn' exhibition at Plas Glyn-y-Weddw has been a resounding success. As Director it has been a pleasure getting to know Ruth through the concept and planning process to the point of bringing the exhibition to life. Her unique look at Llŷn through clay, stone and wood takes in scenes on the peninsula and reconstructs them via screen-printed glazed ceramics that combine mediums to create magical representations of the familiar landscape. Ruth is a professional artist who takes great attention to detail. Her approach to the exhibition process has been exemplary and as a gallery we highly recommend this artist. Diolch yn fawr/Thank you Ruth.
