Rebecca Joselyn
Rebecca Joselyn is a contemporary silversmith whose designs are quirky and eyecatching.
In 2006 Rebecca achieved a BA Honours at Sheffield Hallam University, where she studied metalwork and jewellery design. It was here she developed her love for silversmithing. She then received a Precious Metal Bursary Award from the Worshipful Company of Goldsmiths and joined the Silversmith Starter Programme at Persistence Works, Sheffield. She went on to win a Gold Award from the Goldsmiths Craft and Design Council followed by the Newcomer Award from Craftsman Magazine at the British Trade Craft Fair. In 2008 she won a Crafts Council Development Award.
Rebecca explores the function of the objects she is creating. She is interested in how people interact and handle different objects. She likes her designs to have individual personalities and almost have a ‘human' feel to them. Drawing her inspiration from our lifestyles of convenience and throwaway, she looks at the items we take for granted and discard every day.
