A professional designer goldsmith for 45 years, ROBERTO VENGOECHEA’S Avant-Garde collection showcases futuristic and innovative designs which defy the conventional forms and genres, yet are practical in their form and fit. Challenging acceptable 21st century jewelry traditions, with square, architectural and geometric shapes, these unusual designs push the boundaries of ‘thinking outside the box.’ “Like Gaudi, I like to fuse organic with architectural design in a futuristic manner. I consider myself a sculptor first and a jeweler second.” Vengoechea opened his Gallery and studio in 1996, located in Black Mountain, NC. Browse this quaint, artisan-owned gallery in a museum-quality setting, with recessed shadow boxes which entice the viewer to study the contents of each box. His work is also available in select galleries in North Carolina. Vengoechea also teaches tourists and visitors a popular hands-on 1 day workshop (by appointment – 2 people per class) where each participant takes home their own hand-made work. “It’s all about the experience” as well as being lots of fun.

A couple of months ago we were in Black Mountain and stopped into the Visions of Creation Gallery. We looked at the beautiful jewelry that the had and got to talking to Roberto and June, the owners. Roberto has been creating fine jewelry for over 35 years and had several incredible rings and necklaces on display. However, one of the things he offered was a ring making class. With my wife's birthday coming up I decided that we should return and take the class. We both love rings and this would be something that she could say she made herself. The class takes about 8 hours and Roberto and June both make it a fun experience. Roberto helped us design the rings we wanted and then worked with us from start to finish, explaining each step of the way. By the time we were finished we not only had a beautiful hand crafted ring to take with us but also a good working knowledge of what goes into creating it. While that was exciting in itself, spending the day with Roberto and June was really what made the day as fun as it was. They both are such warm and friendly people. When we were done, they gave us a small graduation party complete with campaign and chocolates. We sat there for a long time just talking and having a very nice time. If you want to create a keepsake and have an amazing time then contact them and schedule a class. They can only do 2 people at a time and it is great for a couples event.

This is my favorite art/gift store in Black Mountain. The art is unique, beautiful and affordable. That it is done by local artists makes it even better. I received a painting from Teresa Hall from here a year ago and wanted to purchase another from her. There wasn’t currently a complimentary piece in the store so the owner of Mountain Nest facilitated me being able to purchase a very special piece from the artist to “match” the one I own. Wonderful communication from the shop and an obvious passion for their artists. Thank you! Make sure to visit this wonderful store when in Black Mounaint
