18.01.2022 The installation process has begun! This lighting feature, known as the ‘Splash’, grew from concept conversations with Electrolight in Sydney. The ‘Splash’ is reminiscent of a pelican landing on still water, or a dolphin diving and breaking the surface. Commissioned to create 50 large glass pieces, each being hot manipulated by a team of three, has finally culminated in this long trail of components suspended above a banquet table of a restaurant (yet to be disclosed). These components will be externally lit and glitter above the heads of guests. This is the kind of project we dream about, working collaboratively with lighting designers, the client, and our very own talented team to arrive at an end solution that will move experiential dining into new territory for the ultimate end user - the guest.

15.01.2022 Surprise! We have been so flat out these past weeks I forgot to let you all know. We will be presenting and available for discussion at the The Big Design Trade expo from tomorrow until Saturday. Inspiration and creativity will be in abundance with original gifts & designs from 200 original brands across Australia, Europe & Japan. We will be looking to source some new retailers for our hand-made homewares, glass leaves, jewellery and upcycled pendant lighting.... We’d love you to visit Meat Market and say hello - Trade only event & pre-registration essential. See more

15.01.2022 I am really excited about being part of The Lost Trades Fair this weekend in Kyneton. My friend & colleague Jess Fisher will be joining me from Adelaide to demonstrate flame-working skills & techniques all weekend. We will be amongst 100 incredibly skilled craftspeople making the most exquisit & unusual creations. Please check out the FB link for more details.. It's going to be AMAZING!!! https://www.facebook.com/losttrades/

14.01.2022 We're proud to be donating a set of our popular 'poison' glasses for this cause. Please donate to help this wonderful organisation, and you could possibly win something beautiful in the process

13.01.2022 Five new Matrix neck pieces are on their way to Craft ACT: Craft + Design Centre for the Professional Accredited Members exhibition opening on 4 September. We'd love for those around Canberra to attend the exhibition; an exquisite array of extremely clever works will be on show. Definition: Matrix... ‘The cultural, social, or political environment in which something develops’. The Matrix jewellery pieces are mostly created in the small hours of the night, in the quiet and under the blanket of darkness. The night beholds the most contemplative hours of my daily clock. I weave threads whilst travelling complicated roads of thought. Perplexed about how to change our current global trajectory & consistently upholding my faith in the power of humanity and community to change our priorities and the way we exist. See more

11.01.2022 A little while ago, we worked on a re-brand to give our business what we consider to be a more appropriate signature, namely RUTH. We've finally updated our Facebook Page name to align with this. We still continue to make the much loved design range of "Sustainable Stubbies" vases, jugs and drinking glasses as limited edition collections - but as we develop new alliances with architects, interior designers and professionals, we feel that 'RUTH' better encompasses all of our work.

10.01.2022 The Big Design Market is on until Sunday, and who doesn't love a bespoke Christmas gift? This is our last direct-to-public event for the year. RUTH Allen is only presenting unique and limited edition pieces so best get in early if you have your heart set on a particular design. We expect the Poison glasses to go like hot cakes (or hot glass!) - they've sold out from most stockists but we've held back a few boxes for this event. ...
