25.01.2022 It was a long glaze process by our #ceramics #artistinresidence #sandranitz ... and then the waiting game. #handmade #madeinmelbourne #contemporaryliving #RUTH

23.01.2022 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

21.01.2022 Complicated mould making in progress for #custommade #lighting project. #handmade #madeinmelbourne #RUTH #ruthallen

20.01.2022 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.

19.01.2022 Brilliant weekend @bigdesignmarket this year ... we talked & talked & talked & hope all if you who stopped by know a little more about the science & alchemy of glassblowing ... we'll done to TBDM team & Merry Christmas to you all. #RUTH #ruthallen #handblownglass #handmade #pendantlighting #upcycled #reclaim #recycle #reuse

19.01.2022 BAM! ... 10 mins until doors open @bigdesignmarket ... I've brought some xtra spesh limited edition glass pieces along for the ride... come say HI! #RUTH #ruthallen #handblownglass #handmade

19.01.2022 It was totally exhilarating to work with the skilled team of Brian Corr Tom, NIck and Harry at the Canberra Glassworks this weekend.. we managed to nail this oversized mould blown light fixture and are now ready for more.

17.01.2022 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. ...

15.01.2022 ONLY 3 SPOTS LEFT on Sunday 6th December to book a 20 minute ‘Hands On’ experience to ‘Make Your Own’ Paperweight or Christmas Bauble. This is a rare opportunity where you won’t just take home a beautiful piece of hand made glass but you would have made it yourself... what an experience .. what a story you will have to tell... #handson #handmade #hotglass #ruthallenglass #artisanstudio #openday #openstudio #madeinmelbourne

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 ... glazing up. #artistinresidence #sandranitz #internationalexchange #ceramics #handmade #madeinmelbourne #contemporaryliving

13.01.2022 ... another set of trophies going out... good luck to all of those participating in the CLIMATE awards. The CLIMATE awards recognize Victorian-based students, young people and local governments who collaborate, lead, innovate, mitigate, advocate, transform & empower to help stop the effects of climate change. #RUTH #ruthallen #climatechange #sustainableliving

We'll have a team of master glassblowers doing live demonstrations including "Make Your Own" baubles or paperweights (bookings essential via www.ruthallen.com.au ) Grab a drink from our pop-up bar and listen to live Jazz music as you soak in the atmosphere of this bustling creative space.... #openstudio #outdoorgallery #livejazzmusic #supportlocalartisans

10.01.2022 We have been working hard to line up the good times ... after spending so many hours isolated and close to home it is time to spread our wings... enjoy each other’s company and many creative treats our community has to offer. I have started to refer to our Open Studio event as the festival of Glass & Ceramics especially with live music, a mobile bar, demonstrations, home-made lemonade and opportunities to ‘make your own’. Please join us and let your hair down continuing to s...tay 1.5m apart and with a mask on whilst inside our studio space... eased restrictions is definitely worth celebrating. #openstudio #handmade #ruthallenglass #joshuarowellceramics #functionalart #madeinmelbourne #hotglass #artisanstudio #contemporarydesign #wearableart

05.01.2022 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.

04.01.2022 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

03.01.2022 Do you find it hard to throw away your empty spirit bottles? Do you often wonder if there is something wonderful you could do with these quite marvellous bottles? Well YES! there is. If you have a beautiful bottle that was consumed during a special event such as anniversary, cocktail party or commemorative happening OR you just drank it... you are welcome to bring it to our studio for transformation into a pendant light.... We can work with any bottle, our skilled team will inflate, elongate and transform it to become a long lasting feature within your home. How about bringing it/them along during our Open Studio event and we will work to finish it for you before Christmas.
