About Rebekah Frank:
Rebekah Frank is a jewelry artist and metalsmith whose chosen material is steel, a fascination discovered through a challenge received when she was 18. Her creative practice has focused on steel ever since, as she worked as a blacksmith, a welder, a machinist and, currently, a jeweler. Rebekah’s studio practice is based in the Mission District of San Francisco, CA, and she exhibits, lectures and teaches workshops all over the world.
Rebekah worked with Art Jewelry Forum, an international nonprofit dedicated to the appreciation of art jewelry, from 2012 to 2018, leading the organization as the Executive Director from 2015 to 2018. She is currently a member of The Outpost, an activation group focused on how art jewelry can exist in the world.
