When once Ruth Schmid found a smashing advertising banner in a skip, it ignated her interest in turning all kinds of advertising banners into handbags and shoulderbags. But Ruth quickly runs of of banners, especially those of good quality. When looking for a new material, she got inspired by a material very common in Cambridge, used bicycles inner tubes, which are fantastic to work with! Due to Ruth’s imagination, they get a second life as unique bags and accessories like mobile phone sleeves, pencil cases and even armbands and rings. Kasia Wozniak visited Ruth at her studio, which she shares with Betka Milligan.
Ruth will be presenting her work at the Open Studios, together with Betka Millighan, during the first & second weekend of the event, i.e.: 7-8 & 14-15 July not at her usual studio, but closer to the city centre, i.e.: 5 Boathouse Court, Trafalgar Road.
