2004 - Won SEAB Research Development Grant

Rebecca's creative use of new and unusual materials brings together the worlds of Art and Science, allowing her to inspire the interaction between her work and the user. Her work, primarily, concentrates on her experimentation of precious metal clay, for which she won a grant from the Arts Council of England to research and develop. Precious metal clay has enabled Rebecca to develop specialised techniques and processes to create unique pieces.
