    This Maker has consistently demonstrated excellence in craftsmanship and customer service.

Having started blacksmithing in 1978, I have developed a wide ranging and extensive portfolio. I am best known for my lamps with blown glass shades, but also make funcitonal work for the kitchen, bath and home in general. I also forge railings.

My personal style is organic in nature, but I enjoy working with clients to develop pieces that reflect their personality and interests, no matter the style.

    I am 100% delighted with the fireplace grate that Roberta Elliott made for me. It is large enough and heavy enough and just exactly what I wanted. The price was very reasonable. I highly recommend this very skilled blacksmith! AAA++++

    My fireplace screen turned out so beautifully! It looks EXACTLY like my inspiration photo based on a restoration hardware style design, but made exactly to the size of my fireplace opening. Roberta was great to work with and I'd use her again in a heartbeat!!
