Kiri's ceramic jewellery is individual, original and handmade at home in her studio here in New Zealand. She studied Fine Arts at the Otago School of Fine Art, majoring in ceramics, and graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in 1998.Kiri always had a passion for creating, and after having travelled for 10 years found a longing to return home to New Zealand. "The Passion I feel for New Zealand has never faded. I am amazed and refreshed constantly by the nature that is outside my door. There is no place on this earth like what we have here in New Zealand I think we are incredibly lucky to live here".
