Rebecca Rasmussen, aka raz|maker, creates serveware and jewellery using a combination of metals, enhancing the visual interest and aesthetic of each piece.
Motivated by the beauty of form, function and love of process, her collections reflect a sense of home and belonging, each piece unique; a celebration of objects and their innate beauty.
The organically formed and textured nature of each piece is inspired by the beautiful Cornish surroundings where Rebecca resides. For example, she hand draws the round spoon cups to reflect nature’s circles found in her surroundings such as Limpets, Lichen patches, Pilea Peperomioides and Nasturtium leaves.
Rebecca takes great pleasure from the materials and traditional tools that she uses. The tools themselves lend individuality to each piece, for example a bench block, damaged through accidental slips of the hammer, creates the texture in a lot of her pieces. Rivets are a simple yet incredibly intimate way of joining her pieces. Such care and detail goes into each rivet, every one different. She enjoys letting the metal speak for itself through simple, timeless designs.
