*Rose first began learning jewellery when a friend invited her to come to a class with her. Once she started she was hooked and went on to study at Birmingham’s School of Jewellery, graduating with a First Class Honours degree in the 1980s. She returned in the 90s to gain an M.A. She was then invited to join the staff of the University, Project Managing the Jewellery Apprenticeship Scheme for 7 years. Rose has always had some jewellery project on the go, and now is looking forward to passing on her knowledge to others with the refurbishment of her workshop at The Art Studio.
