Over the years, I’ve tried lots of different techniques and have just about settled on those that I enjoy – glass work, metal work, enamelling and chainmaille.  Each technique is very different but come together beautifully.  I’m able to mix the different techniques to create beautiful pieces of jewellery.

 

Fired Silver started in 2006 after I became a stay at home mum.  Initially I taught jewellery classes locally on weekends, it was my bit of independence.  I enjoyed the social aspect of teaching and getting to know people in my local area – some of whom have become friends over the years.

 

I now have my own studio space which is fantastic and gives me a permanent base, and also means that students get to see my whole range of tools and equipment.

 

As well as teaching, I sell my own range of jewellery and you can view my collections on my website rebeccacrabtree.com

 

I hope you’ve enjoyed looking around my site.

I’ve always been creative in some form, I went through the usual hobbies when I was younger – sewing, knitting, drawing and painting.  Nothing was ever quite “me”.  In 1994 I started an evening class in Silversmithing at a local college and I was hooked and knew it was for me.
