Deborah Beck creates environmentally conscious jewellery collections in Holmfirth, West Yorkshire. The daughter of a biologist, Deborah’s interest in the natural world was ignited at an early age. Following previous careers in TV drama production and as a Personal Trainer, her jewellery making journey began more recently. After studying for a Diploma, graduating with a distinction and a special award for creativity, Deborah now combines her environmental concerns with her silver and plastic-smithing skills to create sustainable wearable art from recycled metals and discarded waste materials. Deborah was selected for Shine 2022 by the Goldsmiths' Centre and her work is currently on display in their atrium exhibition. In 2021, Deborah was selected for ‘Rising Stars’ at The New Ashgate Gallery and ‘Stars in the Making’ at The Goldsmiths Centre. Deborah’s innovative work has exhibited at galleries which include Manchester City Art Gallery, Leeds Craft and Design Gallery, Billcliffe Gallery, Glasgow and she recently held her first solo show at Globe Arts Studio. Deborah regularly exhibits at contemporary crafts events around the country including Handmade Chelsea, GNCCF, Lustre, The Hepworth Gallery Makers Fair and Art & York, where she won the Jan and David Roberts’ Emerging Maker prize. Deborah’s jewellery has featured in the BBC dramas Death in Paradise, In the Club and London Kills.
