Rebecca's studio and practice is located on the historic Welbeck Estate, right in the heart of Sherwood Forest. The Welbeck Estate is a 15,000 acre country estate, sitting in an area known as the Dukeries. It contains a Grade 2 registered historic park designed in 1748, ancient woodlands, forestry, lakes, and farmland. It also has some of the country’s most important rural heritage buildings.

Harley Studios
The Welbeck Estate supports a vibrant community of artisans, and makers, contributing to its reputation as a center for creativity and cultural heritage. The Harley Foundation is a charity established in 1978 by Ivy, Duchess of Portland, to "encourage creativity in all of us".
In the heart of the Harley Foundation Studios, East Workshops, also known as Pineapple Place, is home to Urban Projections. The space was built by renowned British architect John Outram on the site of the old cucumber and pineapple pits.
Though it is a private space to the general public, Rebecca welcomes studio visits and collaborators by appointment only.
The studio's unique location offers beautiful rural seclusion, whilst being adjacent to the post-industrial mining villages of North Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire and South Yorkshire, where Rebecca grew up. This juxtaposition and sense of 'inbetween-ness' directly influences her visual language and identity.
Equipped for technical and creative experimentation, Rebecca cultivates an inclusive space for collaboration and the sharing of ideas.
