“Richard’s work makes reference to historical design patterns. It draws on themes of British colonialism and the way in which the U.K. has become an eclectic mix of cultural styles, as immigration has brought with it a rich source of influence. Images associated with the colonies, that have become adopted by the British mainstream are the core influence on Richard’s practice.” via his website @ www.richmiller.co.uk

In this video we talk to the potter Mary Rose Young, about her career, style and what she loves. About Mary…
She soon identified Art as her favourite subject at school and went on to study at Cheltenham and then Wolverhampton Art College, electing to specialize in Ceramics. In 1982 she was taking her pieces to Bristol every weekend to sell at a street market, 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.
