Beads Glass Craft Festival

17th - 25th July 2010

Deb Zandonatti

Deb started her artistic career almost 40 years ago as an art major in college. Not knowing what to do with that, she has enjoyed painting, drawing, and pottery and finally settling down into the jewellery arts. Deb holds a level 3 in Precious Metal Clay and has studied with internationally well known artists such as Alan Rever and Preston Reuther, along with countless others who are published in their fields. Deb studied for two years at the Art Academy of Chicago.

She has shown and sold her jewellery internationally. You can find Deb at home in her bead and jewellery store in Cherry Valley, which is located just 90 miles outside of Chicago, IL. There she teaches all forms of jewellery making, from basic stringing to wire wrapping, to casting and fabricating fine jewellery.
