Ruth Woods is craftschooloz on Instagram and she is running her workshop called Create Textile Baskets from Recycled Materials at the Making Zen Online Retreat.

With a background in textiles, working as a clothing designer for over 25 years, then being introduced to basketry fifteen years ago Ruth loves to combine different techniques and materials. She has been creating textile baskets made from recycled materials and loves that you can create beautiful things made from waste products and finds it a challenge to use as little newly bought resources as possible.

Making Zen Online Retreat 2022 is a five day event to inspire creativity and find zen from 24 to 28 October 2022. This is a week of textile workshops led by a selection of international artists.
