About
My name is Rebecca Amphlett mosaic artist from North Norfolk, I have cultivated my craft through self-teaching and a natural inclination for creativity. My passion for the medium has led me to specialise in crafting decorative garden stepping stones. I particularly enjoy exploring the interplay between iridescent coloured glass and light. I’ve ran creative workshops with the craft helping people young and old learn the possibilities with mosaic
Although still very early in my Mosaicking journey I have been fortunate enough to have been given the opportunity to create some huge pieces.
Arcadia and the Breakasurus - GoGo Discover Norwich
firstly I had been chosen to be one of the Artists for Norwich's GoGo Discover trail in partnership with Break Charity and Wild in Art and through January and February of 2022 I had the amazing opportunity to decorate two T-Rex sculptures for the Trail. Across the Summer of 2022 the public was able to see the almost 2m tall Arcadia T-rex sculpture in the center of The Royal Arcade in Norwich. Arcadia had a range of symbols that represented balance and harmony in nature. At the same time I decorated a smaller T-rex with the Break colours, a Breakasuras, which travelled the county with Break where they sold raffle tickets to win the Breakasurus.
Arcadia Was Auctioned in September 2022 and raised £10,000 for Break while the Breakasurus made £6,000 from raffle ticket sales.
Mural for Penthorpe's Glade Sculpture Garden
At the end of 2022 I spent my time created my second big project a 15ft x 2.5ft mural which I was commissioned by Pensthorpe to create for their "Glade Sculpture Garden"
The Mural is divided into two parts- "day" and "night" - each depicting a range of native animals. The day section of the mural captures the vibrant colours and lively activity of the animals during daylight hours, while the "night" section showcases the serene and mysterious atmosphere of the natural world after dark.
Visitors to the reserve can enjoy this piece in the Glade Sculpture Garden where it is surrounded by an array of other fabulous sculptures.
The Fifth Element
The four quarters which include four outer spheres and four 65cm Stepping stones each of which represent the classical elements: water, fire, earth, and air. At the centre, a golden globe adorned with the"Seed of Life" pattern, symbolising the fifth element, representing the harmony and interconnectedness of all four elements of nature.
The Fifth Element has been part of the Bayfield Hall in North Norfolk sculpture Trail in 2023 & 2024
Savannahs Golden Guardian & Kaleidoscope - Standing Tall - Cambridge
In 2024 I was Sponsored by Cambridge City Council in cooperation with Break Charity to create Savannahs Golden Guardian an almost 3 meter tall Giraffe which was part of the Standing Tall trail in and around Cambridge City center she stood proud on Parkers Piece for the public to view during early summer of 2024 before being auctioned to raise vital funds for young adults leaving the care system.
During the same trail was Kaleidoscope a much smaller giraffe sculpture at not quite a meter tall he was on display inside the Hilton Hotel in Cambridge City Center, this sculpture was also auctioned for Break the charity.
Watch this space for more sculpture in the future
