RUTH LESLIE
NEXT GENERATION
4 - 28 May 2016
The Scottish Gallery is delighted to present Next Generation - a solo showcase from jeweller Ruth Leslie.
New to The Gallery, Ruth Leslie studied Silversmithing & Jewellery at The Glasgow School of Art, graduating in 2015. Working in a variety of metals including silver, gold and titanium, she creates sculptural jewellery that is inspired by the irregularities within fabrics as well as the structural forms within textile machinery. With both these aspects in mind, Ruth creates subtle colours through heat-treating titanium to contrast against geometric, three-dimensional forms created with fine, twisted wire. This combination of colour and workmanship results in unique and stimulating pieces, which are surprisingly light and playful to wear.

A heddle is an integral part of a loom. Each thread in the warp passes through a heddle, which is used to separate the warp threads for the passage of the weft. The typical heddle is made of cord or wire, and is suspended on a shaft of a loom.

Inkle refers to inkle weaving; a type of warp-faced weaving where the shed is created by manually raising or lowering the warp yarns, some of which are held in place by fixed heddles on a loom known as an inkle loom.
