Her childhood was a restless one, and at the age of 12 she was already moving into her 12th family home. To imagine her as a child watching her parents constantly painting rooms and reinventing interiors on an extremely low budget illustrates how her colourful style evolved. She went on to study at Cheltenham and then Wolverhampton Art College, electing to specialise in Ceramics. Her college days coincided with the Punk Rock revolution and, thrilled with the opportunity to flaunt convention and shock everybody, Mary Rose was the first to dye her hair and wear thrift sale attire.By 1982 she was taking her pieces to Bristol every weekend to sell at a street market, and in 1983 she set up her first workshop. By 1987 she’d started to attract the attention of shops and in 1989 she started getting orders from American Department Stores. Mary Rose’s work has been enjoyed by numerous celebrities, such as Steven and Liv Tyler, singers Lady Gaga and Mika, and the Osbourne family.
