Using slab building techniques enables Rose to create unusual and organic shapes with clay. She paints with slips mixed with ceramic stain to create strong bold colours, and her pieces are fired with a transparent glossy glaze for a brilliant shine.

Added gold lustre brings sophistication and an elegant shimmer to Rose’s whimsical, playful designs
