My grandfather was a glaze chemist in the Stoke potteries, so ceramics has always been in my blood. After art school, where I studied Set and Costume Design, I worked in film for several years, as a costume assistant - then fell down a dark path in the corporate world for a while. I really missed making things with my hands, so I did just that - and came out the other side when Rose Gardner Studio was born!

I live in Wiltshire with my rescue dog, Coco, and I work from a little converted potting shed in my garden, where I make colourful, joyful, Mediterranean-inspired ceramics with my own playful twist. I hope you love my work!
