Rosie grew up on the South Coast of the UK and has had a life long interest in art. Her interest in ceramics was piqued in 1990 at high school, and it has been her primary medium of interest since. She was so taken by the art form that she gained a BA (hons) in Design: Ceramics from Staffordshire University (in the heart of the Potteries).

Prior to taking ceramics more seriously, Rosie has been a youth worker, a teacher and a Mum.

It wasn’t until 2017 when she moved to Hawkes Bay with her husband and 4 kids that she was able to pick up the love of ceramics again and turned her garage into a home studio. Rosie has been running classes and producing her own work for several years now.

Rosie is fortunate to live in Bay View; a stone's throw from the beach, and draws inspiration from the land and seascapes which surround her.
