Maker of the Month: Deb Roberts

In the heart of Black Mountain, North Carolina, resides a maker whose creations are as timeless as the mountains themselves. Meet Deb Roberts, a seasoned artisan with 15 years of experience in crafting exquisite jewelry, accessories, and leather pieces that echo the beauty of her natural surroundings, and our Maker of the Month for February 2024.

Deb's creative journey began with a simple desire to create heartfelt gifts. A visit to a studio to craft earrings for Christmas presents ignited a passion that continues to burn brightly fifteen years later. With sterling silver and gemstones as her medium, Deb weaves stories of nature's elegance into every piece she creates.

For Deb, nature is not just a muse; it's a way of life. Nestled in the mountains of Western North Carolina, she finds solace and inspiration in the natural world that surrounds her. From the majestic peaks to the whispering pines, each element finds expression in her meticulously crafted designs.

What resonates most with Deb about being a maker is the opportunity to express her creativity freely. The thrill of seeing someone connect with her work, understanding the story behind each piece, fuels her passion and drives her craft forward.

Under the banner of "Mountain Expressions," Deb's creations find their home. Whether showcased on Facebook or gracing the shelves of galleries, each piece carries with it a piece of Deb's soul and the essence of the mountains she calls home.

Deb's creative journey is marked by a commitment to growth and mastery. From inlay to stone-on-stone techniques, from elevated pieces to kinetic jewelry, she constantly pushes the boundaries of her craft. With each new skill acquired, Deb finds herself drawn deeper into the art of silversmithing, her true calling.

Beaducation plays a pivotal role in Deb's creative process, serving as a wellspring of inspiration and resources. The mountain stamp, a symbol of her identity, finds its place in her logo, while other designs accentuate her creations, adding a touch of elegance and charm.

Deb Roberts's journey is a testament to the transformative power of creativity and the enduring beauty of nature. Through her craft, she invites us to pause, to marvel at the splendor of the world around us, and to find inspiration in the simplest of moments. Join her on this journey of discovery, where each piece tells a story and every creation is a celebration of life's wonders.
