Alex Yule Jewellery and Emma Godden Ceramics

Both artists are inspired by nature’s forms and textures. Alex creates delicate silver jewellery with gold and enamel detail, while Emma sculpts ceramic garden ornaments, bird baths and porcelain hanging decorations. Emma also teaches one-day workshops.

Alex draws inspiration from her surrounding environment, inheriting her father’s interest in wild flowers and love of beach-combing rocky coastlines. From a young age Alex expressed her creative ideas in 3D forms and went on to train in Display Design. She soon moved into roles building bespoke props and window schemes for stores such as Harvey Nichols before developing her craft further in a career in architectural model making for a leading Covent Garden based practice. Now dedicated to her long-term ambition as a jeweller Alex studied at Sir John Cass and City Lit where she honed her skills working with precious metals. In 2011 she launched her first collections from her London workshop where she was based for 10 years before moving back to her countryside roots and setting up her new workshop on the edge of the South Downs National Park. Former influences are reflected in Alex’s work in which you will recognise her attention to detail and a love of natural forms. Alex has previously received both a ‘Gold Award’ and ‘Silver Award’ in the annual ‘Craft & Design Selected Awards’ for Jewellery & Precious Metals.
