About Us

Deb and Jay Crossing the Bloomfield River

Hi, I'm Debbie Fabian - founder of Spirit of the Maker.

I am a lover of all things creative, that reveal the "spirit of the maker" - this is how we can connect with the world around us - not a mechanical, mass produced machine - but real people with real stories.

At Spirit of the Maker, like you, we value the handmade, and quality over quantity. We recognise that some things just take time, and to try and speed them up simply results in the loss of the essence and what could be.

I prize our Australian craft distillers because this is their philosophy too. Australians are unique - we think and do differently. As intangible as that may be sometimes, we recognise an Australian creation, don't we? Our Australian distillers are taking highly creative approaches to bring you new and unique ways to appreciate spirits. They have won many prestigious awards on the world stage and they are being noticed.

That's why I wanted to help them get the word out there, to help you to gain access to these unique spirits and to develop a discernment that results in a "drink less, enjoy more" way of being.

I hope you join me and grow in your appreciation of this most enjoyable craft.
