Rebecca Juliette-Duex
Rebecca was introduced to the value of craft at an early age. During visits to her mother’s childhood home in rural Western Pennsylvania, she observed how her grandparents found solace in their own handcraft; her grandfather, a coal miner, in his woodshop and her grandmother with needle and thread or yarn. An immersion in weaving (2017–19) and woodworking (2019–21) at Haywood Community College has been an opportunity to build the skills necessary to honor the legacy of her grandparents. Rebecca’s work brings wood and fiber into conversation to tell the story of her own creative heritage and to inspire others to do the same. You can see Rebecca's work at rosevalleyworks.com
