StudioKY is for jewellery lovers.   

We, Kay and Yvonne Pittelkow, design and produce modern art jewellery. What makes us different is that our jewelery is unique. We design it and handcraft most of the pieces - even our beads are usually hand rolled.

Colour and unique design are our specialty.

Lately we are diversifying and designing and making objects for the home. Collectible figurines are becoming a specialty of Kay's - echoes of sculpture! Customers with special interests are commissioning figures for their clubs. However, small trays, tea candle covers, napkin rings are also making an appearance - often in resin featuring image transference. Sometimes we go mad and design something totally different. Usually something that is useful but not always. Keep a look out if you like the unusual. Checking out "What's New" is the best place to find what we are working on.

Kay is re-discovering sculpture and working on incorporating polymer clay or resin: Yvonne is currently exploring chunky necklaces and bangles often with intricate lace patterns.

Because we do all the design and manufacturing ourselves we can change fittings or sizes or colours. You just have to ask us at StudioKY.  

Commissions form a significant part of Kay's sales. There is no obligation to buy a commissioned piece although we appreciate a quick decision.  Making to a customer's brief is often challenging - it can take you out of your comfort zone but it can also produce a new and exciting direction. 

VISIT US.

You can see our pieces at one the following locations. We welcome the opportunity to find out what you, the customer, want from your jewellery.

MARKETS

Kay and Yvonne have moved to Wangi Wangi on the Western side of Lake Macquarie. 

We will  be manning our stall at "Hand Made in the Hunter" markets on Saturday 28th July & Saturday 25th August.

These special markets are held in the grounds of Kevin Sobels Wines on the cnr of Broke Rd and Halls Rd, Pokolbin.  This is a lovely setting and the market specialises in unique items handcrafted by local artisans. Stalls are carefully selected to avoid duplication creating a visual exciting market. And of course you can also sample the wines!  Please check out HAND MADE in the HUNTER's Facebook page if inclement weather is expected - rain or heatwaves. If a market is cancelled the notifications will be posted as soon as the decision is made.

MARKET DATES

Saturday 28 June at Pokolbin (9 am to 3 pm)

Saturday 25 August at Pokolbin (9 am to 3 pm)

STUDIO

My workspace is in Wangi Wangi NSW. You are welcome to contact me to arrange a private viewing. Or phone 0428062902. Particularly useful if you want to match a certain fabric or design or commission a piece although computer images can achieve the same result.

Note that I am visiting the European markets now until mid August so viewings will not be possible during these times. 

TERRE SAUVAGE IN BELVES, FRANCE

 Belvès is a very pretty medieval town in southwestern France. I always think of it as being in the Dordogne but recently it became part of a new commune, Pays-de- Belvès. The closest city is Bordeau.

  A selection of my jewelry and home decor items reside in this lovely shop. For the  2017 season I designed and made a special range for this shop to complement the Zimbawean handicrafts and art that, with the output of some local artists, dominate the shop's contents. Some of these items are shown in "Whats New" on this site.

For the 2108 season I have designed asymmetric light neckpieces - both pendants and full necklaces suitable for smaller necks than my Australian clientelle. Look at "What's New May 2018" for a few more photos.

Note that this shop opens for "the Season". You can contact them through their facebook page.
