Bone Moonface with Blue Topaz and Labradorite. Berlin Randall, artist<\/p><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>By Gina Malone<\/p>\n<p>Metalsmith Berlin Randall finds that her creative process is driven by the world around her, her emotions and the patterns in everyday objects. \u201cSometimes I have a clear vision of what I want to create, but the design itself unfolds naturally,\u201d she says. \u201cIt all starts with a gemstone, a basic bezel or even a random piece of metal on my workbench. From there, my creativity takes over and I let it guide me. This often leads to a flood of new ideas, so many that I struggle to capture them all on paper. However, there comes a point where I become overwhelmed and exhausted, experiencing what I call \u2018artistic depression\u2019. During this time, I recognize the need to take a break and recharge, knowing that my creativity will eventually return.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That trust in artistic vision finding its way back again has its roots in her childhood in Marietta, GA, and in her realization that she was creative then, loving music and art. When she was in the fourth grade, her teacher asked the class to draw a winter scene. \u201cMost of the class drew a snowman,\u201d Randall says. \u201cI drew a bear sleeping in a cave, snow all around and an icicle dripping on the bear, along with a deer and a squirrel by the tree. I didn\u2019t even know it was a contest, but I had my picture taken with all of the other kids for the local paper. My mom still has my drawing, my First Place ribbon and the newspaper clipping.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Growing up as an only child with the pleasures of the outdoors gave her fond memories that she still likes to recall. \u201cI embraced my tomboy nature,\u201d she says, \u201cclimbing trees, rolling in the grass, collecting rocks, bugs and other tiny treasures in my perpetually full pockets.<\/p>\n<p>Neighborhood friends and I built forts and played in the creek, enjoying sleepovers, catching fireflies and playing hide-and-seek in the dark.\u201d The word describing those years, she adds, is \u201cidyllic.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_66046\" style=\"width: 1210px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-66046\" class=\"size-full wp-image-66046\" src=\"https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Feature-Artist-KBerlinWork004-copy.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"856\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Feature-Artist-KBerlinWork004-copy.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Feature-Artist-KBerlinWork004-copy-300x214.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Feature-Artist-KBerlinWork004-copy-1024x730.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Feature-Artist-KBerlinWork004-copy-768x548.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Feature-Artist-KBerlinWork004-copy-810x578.jpg 810w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Feature-Artist-KBerlinWork004-copy-1140x813.jpg 1140w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-66046\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Goddess Mother-of-Pearl Moonface with Paraiba Topaz; Fate Labradorite with whiskey orange Tourmaline; Tourmalated Rainbow Moonstone necklace<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Life\u2019s twists and turns caused her to set aside her intent to major in accounting. She worked for 10 years in her sister-in-law\u2019s graphic design business. \u201cFor 10 years, she was my hero,\u201d Randall says, \u201ca hero through my divorce, a mentor, giving me wings and showing me that I could do anything.\u201d When the business closed, Randall took a job as a website project manager. After three years in the corporate world, however, she decided to make a change.<\/p>\n<p>In January, 2004, she began taking metalsmithing classes. Two years later, she says, \u201can opportunity fell into my lap.\u201d She was hired as a bench assistant at Raiford Gallery in Roswell, GA. Owner Judie Raiford has been a jeweler for more than 50 years. \u201cWorking under an established, successful jeweler was truly an incredible learning experience that greatly accelerated my skills and confidence,\u201d Randall says. \u201cShe has shaped the way I work, organize my studio and approach new ideas. Judie taught me the importance of adapting as my work evolves and as I gain new skills and tools. (Oh, how we love our tools!) I am incredibly grateful for her support, encouragement and patience. I still work for Judie every other week, which gives me time to work for myself in my home studio in between. Now I\u2019m able to combine my love of small treasures with the skills and craftsmanship I\u2019ve developed as a metalsmith.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>These \u201csmall treasures\u201d serve as much of her inspiration. \u201cI am captivated by vessels,\u201d she says, \u201ca reliquary, a \u2018poison ring\u2019, a place to hold our secrets, things that bring us joy, remind us of our most precious moments and the people in our lives we hold most dear.\u201d All of her jewelry is handcrafted, mainly from Argentium Sterling Silver (.940), and sometimes she also uses gold, brass, bronze or copper. \u201cEach piece is made using traditional metalsmithing techniques such as sawing, hammering\/forging\/texturing, annealing, soldering, sanding, shaping and polishing,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_66047\" style=\"width: 410px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-66047\" class=\"wp-image-66047\" src=\"https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Feature-Artist-KBerlinWork008-copy.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"269\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Feature-Artist-KBerlinWork008-copy.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Feature-Artist-KBerlinWork008-copy-300x202.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Feature-Artist-KBerlinWork008-copy-1024x689.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Feature-Artist-KBerlinWork008-copy-768x517.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Feature-Artist-KBerlinWork008-copy-810x545.jpg 810w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Feature-Artist-KBerlinWork008-copy-1140x768.jpg 1140w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Feature-Artist-KBerlinWork008-copy-272x182.jpg 272w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-66047\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Sleepy Star Pendant with Bone Moonface. Berlin Randall, artist<\/p><\/div>\n<p>A favorite story she likes to recall is one of the young boy who came into her booth at the annual Dunwoody Festival on Mother\u2019s Day weekend 10 or 12 years ago. He was searching for a gift for his mother and bought an amethyst ring without knowing her size. \u201cI made a promise to him,\u201d Randall says. \u201cI told him that he could give his mother the ring and if it didn\u2019t fit perfectly, I would make her a new one in her size. This made him very happy and I made sure he had my contact information.\u201d The mother came back later to say that, unfortunately, the ring did not fit, and Randall made her a new one. \u201cEvery year, she still stops by my booth to thank me and tell me how much it meant to her and her son,\u201d Randall says. \u201cThe fact that a little ring I made can mean so much to two people brings unexpected joy and fuels my passion for my work.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Randall\u2019s work is available regionally at The Lucy Clark Gallery &amp; Studio in Brevard. \u201cBerlin brings a voice to the gallery with her jewelry that is so fresh and unique,\u201d says Lucy Clark. \u201cHer boho-inspired pieces are incredibly creative and masterfully constructed. From her simple earring designs to her large statement work, her voice is clearly evident in all that she does.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Learn more about K.
