Marbling for Surface Design by Ruth Purdy

By Ruth Purdy

As a freelance artist providing sessions in the care sector I work with nontraditional audiences in non-traditional arts spaces. My practice relies on working with multiple disciplines and the reinvention of processes designed for accessibility.

Marbling - Ruth Purdy

The activity of marbling is simple, stunning and entertaining. It can engage everybody and the most inexperienced make positive contributions with ease.
