Professional Profile
Rebecca is a multi-award-winning designer, jeweller and silversmith based in Cardiff, South Wales. Here she creates her works within The Creative Coach House Cardiff’s workshop
With a background in design and manufacture, a Bishopsland Educational Trust Fellow and honours graduate from Cardiff School of Art & Design, Rebecca has the ability to, as a maker, utilise a wide variety of processes to achieve her designs, often creating her own tools in wood and metal to both construct and decorate her pieces.
Her versatile approach to how objects are made allow Rebecca to be truly creative and achieve wonderfully precious pieces including; jewellery collections in gold and silver that often incorporate coloured gemstones or diamonds, handcrafted silverware for the home and bespoke client commissions which frequently involve repurposing heir loomed wares.
Rebecca’s works are predominantly inspired by a method of material and process exploration whilst considering notions, styles and artefacts from the past. More recently Rebecca has been examining the beautiful patterns and structures found within microscopic imagery and exploring how to incorporate and expose these hidden details into her work through texture and surface decoration.
Texture is applied to Rebecca’s small- and large-scale pieces though ancient techniques such as; hammering, engraving, chasing, granulation, fusing and reticulation. Her work often incorporates a display Hallmark which is a mark stamped by the London Assay office -a process which began in the 1300’s, on articles of gold and silver certifying their standard of purity. Her latest designs, feature a sparkle texture which is created by hammering small diamonds onto the metals surface.
Rebecca and aims to create beautiful collections that can be worn every day, but last forever and dreams that one day her wares will either be unearthed, treasured or placed in a museum to inspire future generations as previous have inspired her.
Awards & Exhibitions
Good to know!
Rebecca operates by appointment only to ensure that each client receives her full attention, which is especially important when working on commissions and heirloom pieces. This approach allows ample time to discuss ideas in detail and create something truly special without the pressure of other clients waiting. Rebecca allocates plenty of time for each appointment, so there's no need to rush. However, if you're running late, please inform her to avoid any overlap with other bookings.
This arrangement also helps Rebecca manage her time with her rescue dog, Bonny, who is still a bit wary of others. If you'd like to meet Bonny and help with her socializing, please let Rebecca know—she’d be happy to arrange it, and there will be treats on hand to help win Bonny over!
