Rebecca Siemering is an artist whose work centers on repurposing found materials with her methodical style of stitch and needlework into fiber-based sculpture. Rebecca has honed her craft by learning from artists in the areas of paper making, woodworking, broom-making, and printmaking, as well as receiving a B.F. A. in sculpture.
At School One, Rebecca imparts the value of slow craft, handwork that takes time, and the skill-building process is just as enjoyable as the finished product. She believes art to be a whole mind/body experience that will benefit the student and how they relate to objects in their world and their community.
Rebecca is the Education Manager at the Handicraft Club in Providence, RI, where she teaches workshops in quilling and broom-making to adults. Her recycled, paper-based work is in the collection of Fidelity Investments, and has traveled in multi-museum shows with the Robert C. Williams Paper Museum, the Fuller Craft Museum, and Fiber Art International.
To love an object
is to examine fully
the maker’s handwork.
