Working Clasp Rebecca Cowley
Rebecca Cowley, the designer behind the label 'Working Clasp',
started producing vibrant modern jewellery after graduating from the
Interdisciplinary Textile Design Course at U.W.E. All her jewellery and
accessories are designed and produced in Birmingham.
They're sold in many places, including the Ikon Gallery. This is where I first
saw her colourful designs.
Rebecca uses the latest laser cutting technology to create
and etch her jewellery. She also likes to include culturally symbolic
silhouettes that are often utilised to make statement pieces. Rebecca often
finds inspiration for her work in a combination of drawings and found imagery. She
uses these as a starting point to create her own unique designs. As well as
using the laser cutter, Rebecca likes to keep her designs fresh by making her
jewellery using a variety of styles, and out of various materials such as acrylic,
veneers, vinyls and fabrics, to create bespoke pieces.
Working Clasp has now started branching out, making Bridal
headdresses and wedding accessories that bring a modern style to a wedding day.
Working Clasp not only makes their own designs, they also offer a small scale
laser cutting service that will cut and etch your designs for you. The service,
called 'Cut The Shit', gives the buyer the ability to create personal, one of a
kind jewellery in a range of materials.
