Ruthin Craft Centre, the award-winning Centre for the Applied Arts, is proud to announce the opening of the exhibition, titled:

'Moss for a Bed' - A Solo Exhibition by Verity Pulford, runs from 4th July - 20th Sept 2026.

The exhibition brings together her signature ethereal glasswork with new porcelain works, shaped by Verity’s enduring fascination with nature.

“My work is inspired by the complexity of life, particularly the intricate structures and growth patterns found in nature. I am drawn to cryptogamic plants such as lichen, moss, and algae, as well as fungi, and the textures and forms of marine creatures, invertebrates, and coral. I am influenced by how being in nature—and observing it closely—makes me feel. How in both this experience and through the experience of making I find a place of quiet, safety and solace. I often explore ideas of magical realism, creating hybrid forms inspired by, or combining, different plants and organisms”

Verity Pulford is based in Eryrys, North Wales. She recently won the Gold Medal for Craft and Design at The National Eisteddfod of Wales, 2025. Her work is sold in leading galleries, exhibited internationally and collected by private and public institutions. She is a QEST Scholar, part of the Homo Faber Guide and member of the Guild of Makers of Wales.
