Rebecca Muscat

Rebecca Muscat is a Fibre Artist living in the Hunter Region, with a Bachelor of Fine Arts from The University of Newcastle. Rebecca works primarily in various forms of weaving, eco dyeing, Macrame, crochet and embroidery.

Using the natural environment as a source of eternal inspiration, Rebecca favours a sparse, neutral palette to highlight the texture and form of her two & three dimensional works. Natural fibres such as wool, silk & hemp are her preferred mediums.

With a particular interest in slow fashion and the maker movement, Rebecca’s aim is to promote each person’s creative process as a form of mindfulness & self care. Sharing her passion for fibre crafts with others brings great joy.

Rebecca is a very hands-on educator with a warm & practical style of teaching. Each student is encouraged to express their individual creativity using the techniques and skills they learn in her workshops.
