movie day: Mary Rose Young, A life in Pottery

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.
