Jann Haworth was a member of the Brotherhod of Ruralists for around five years and made a significant contribution to the group during that time. Her work was varied - collage, mixed media constructions, needlework, etc - giving the Ruralist exhibitions of the time more three-dimensional content that they have had since. However, her work was less "rural" inspired than most of the other members of the group and owed less to the Ruralists "heroes" of Palmer, Clare, Elgar, et al.
