Rebecca Walklett

Rebecca has always sustained a passion for making things, even as a child. Her work focuses on colour and form, using a variety of techniques to achieve these aims such as raising, press forming, fabrication, etching and patination. Rebecca fell in love with patination while at college and has continuously tried new ways of colouring her exquisite metal pieces.

"I also enjoy raising, a way of developing forms from a flat piece of metal by hammering it over various shaped steel stakes. This is the process by which most of my bowls are made. Press forming is a way of forming metal in a mould to get repeatable shapes. Most of my boxes are made this way."

Rebecca's forms are either very classic so as to not distract from the colours and textures or are derived from her extended love affair with pebbles and all other sea worn artefacts as she lives and works by the sea in Cornwall. This can be seen in the circular and oval shaped boxes that Rebecca handcrafts as well as some of the patinated textures on the exterior of these exquisite boxes.
