Ruth Morley
Leadlight Artist
Leadlight, sometimes referred to as Stained Glass, is the art of cutting pieces of coloured glass and assembling each piece together with lead to form a picture, scene or design.
Ruth Morley has been a professional leadlight glass artist since 1998.
Born in Tasmania, Ruth operates her business, MORLEY LEADLIGHTS from her glass studio at her home in Lauderdale situated on the eastern shore from Hobart. Inspired by the visual impact of stained glass windows displayed in churches, Ruths interest in leadlighting first began with a course in making a leadlight panel for herself. Ruth is also a member of Peppercorn Gallery in Richmond Tasmania.
Leadlight panels for windows, doors and cabinets Ruth uses her own designs as well as traditional and contemporary ones. Ruth works closely with the customer through the design stage and choosing glass for the project.
