Harpsichord Decoration

Early Music has played an important part of Ruth’s life. In 2010, she began to collaborate with Norwich harpsichord maker, Alan Gotto, to create traditional instruments with individual decoration for international clients.

Ruth creates original designs for harpsichord soundboard decoration using historical painting techniques. Each design is unique to the instrument and the client.
