The Ramble Studios

Distinctive and personal jewellery created here in Fittleworth using recycled silver and ethically sourced crystals and semi precious stones.

I have been designing and making jewellery using recycled silver and ethically sourced crystals and semi precious stones in my studio in the village of Fittleworth, West Sussex since 2005.

I believe the jewellery you wear should provoke a thought or a memory. Each of my pieces has depth and meaning and so whether you are buying it for yourself or as a gift every piece is personal.

I use various techniques that I have learnt over the years on my silversmithing journey. I practise a mixture of traditional silversmithing techniques and working with silver metal clay. All of my pieces are made by hand and so each piece is unique.

My name is Yvonne Kirk, I am a wife, mum, grandma and a full-time potter!
My passion for ceramics started in 2006 whilst living in Western Australia where I attended a “Year in Clay” course at Fremantle Arts Centre. I now work from my home studio in Storrington, West Sussex where I create my ceramics from white earthenware and stoneware clays; using mainly throwing techniques to produce functional ware and decorative pieces. My designs are simple, fresh and uncomplicated. I find inspiration from so many things around me – walks along the South Downs, my garden, flora and fauna, seasons, countryside, and coast.

I find all elements involved in the creation of a piece from the initial design process, working with the clay to make a pot, on through first firing, decorating and glazing, followed by the final firing, totally absorbing and therefore very therapeutic. There is a wonderful rhythm involved with the whole process – you cannot rush any part, so a lot of patience is required in the creation of a piece.

My ceramics are an integral part of my life and I am constantly seeking to improve and develop my skills as a ceramicist.
