Episode 266 - Rebecca De Groot

One thing that Rebecca De Groot loves about life is having limitless opportunities to create. She works with many different materials including graphite, colored pencil, paint, metal, ceramic, paper, plastic, cloth, and wood. And while she believes that all of these materials are wonderful in their own respect, it is working with the natural beauty of wood, which gives her the creative outlet that she thrives on. Rebecca's recent wooden pieces primarily consist of lathe work and box making, but she has been known to make different items like decorative wall pieces and craft items such as hairpieces and broaches. She is well practiced in most ways of woodworking, but still enjoys branching out and experimenting with many new and different processes and techniques. She try's to incorporate life into her work, whether it is through the natural form and highly refined surface of the wood grain, or through alterations to the natural order of the domestic object. Rebecca loves what she does and has no plans on stopping. You can follow along with Rebecca on Instagram.
