Bristol born, Rose moved to London to study Surface Design BA at University of the Arts. Rose has always been drawn to bold patterns and loved designing wallpapers and textiles on her course. After joining a pottery evening class alongside her degree, Rose was inspired to put her designs onto ceramics and left her wallpaper dreams behind. When moving back home to Bristol after her degree Rose started up her own pottery studio in Clifton Wood after meeting a retired potter and acquired all of their equipment second hand, some of it she is still using today to make her ceramics.
