http://artisandesigngallery.com/artist/mary-rose-young/rss/rss/ Mary Rose Young was born near London and now lives and creates her pottery in Forest of Dean in the UK. She studied ceramics at art college in Wolverhampton.  Her particular interest was making sculptural pieces of pottery which were expressive representations of everyday objects.  It was only after leaving art college that Mary Rose became interested in throwing pieces at the wheel.  She had moved into a farmhouse, which had many empty mantelpieces and window sills; she needed something glamorous to brighten the place up.  Applying bright colours onto her newly thrown pots immediately found the look she had hoped for.   Needless to say her sense of fun spills over onto the shapes and designs she produces.  Each piece carries the individuality of the artist's own hand with her unique blend of beauty and humour.  She works with a team of 5 artists and her pieces find their way to homes around the world.
