Rebecca Verduci

It all began as a 12-year-old when my Nonna was looking after us on school holidays. She asked me to sit beside her and watch her as she crocheted a pair of socks. In a time when art and creation were luxuries; she learnt out of necessity how to feed her family by selling socks. She passed on the technique through love but through passion and dedication, I used my skill to pass on the joy to all who value creation.

I am part of the minimalist movement, I am not part of a throw-away society. I value art and its creator. I advocate mending and not disposal. I value quality, not quantity, and cherish wisdom, experiences, and memories.

My life extends through creation, nourishing my family and valuing traditions. Consciously I am aware that the recipient directly receives the energy we place into each effort. Whether we give a gift, make a meal or share a story; the intention and energy are transferred. All I do is done with passion and my message is to share all through love and with the purest intention.
