About Me

Hi! My name is Rebecca, I'm a trained jeweller and self-taught embroidery artist based in Dunfermline, Scotland.

Rebecca from Blackbird & Bloom in her home studio.

 

I graduated from Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art, University of Dundee in 2014 with a 1st class honours degree in Jewellery & Metal Design.

Since then, I have ran my own small jewellery business, and worked in customer service and luxury jewellery retail.

During lockdown 2020 I was looking for a new creative project and craft I could learn to keep me busy and help with my mental health. It needed to be something I could easily do from my sofa, as I didn’t have the space for jewellery tools. So I started learning to embroider!

I bought kits from other makers and watched lots of YouTube videos and soon became hooked.

Embroidery is a very therapeutic practice and has allowed me to embrace my creativity again, creating pieces of art for friends, family and now custom orders.

If you have any questions about my work, please do not hesitate to get in touch.
