About Me…

Hi. I’m Kerry and I design and create unique hand made jewellery and gifts from my home studio in rural North Yorkshire. I’ve been making jewellery for over ten years after initially attending a wire-work course as a way to re-ignite my passion for art and create beautiful things. Since then I have developed my own skills and techniques using a wide range of materials including various beads, buttons, shells, ceramics and sea glass and love creating distinctive gifts to brighten someone’s day.

By teaching myself how to hand-stamp metals I am able to personalise many items; avoiding a mass-produced look yet still being very affordable.

I love nothing more than helping someone bring an idea to life by chatting through choices of materials, colours, styles and sizes to create the perfect unique piece, so do contact me to discuss your ideas or let me guide you through the endless options for personalising your pieces.

My latest challenge has been to explore and teach myself the wonderful art of silver-smithing and the use of recycled sterling and fine silver and the magical properties of silver clay, so keep watching this space (and my social media pages) for updates on my progress into the sparkly world of sterling silver! So far it is proving to be challenging, yet addictive and a lot of fun.
