“The tutor was friendly, helpful, and attentive, and the environment was calm and therapeutic. We had an array of equipment to practice on, and the friendliness of the tutor and others made it a great learning experience. Not only did we come away acquiring a new skill, but we also had a lovely piece of pottery to treasure.
Thank you.”

A statement from Rosa Wiland Holmes
Growing up on the beautiful island of Bornholm in Denmark, I was always inspired by the beauty of nature and the contrast between the smooth white sand and rocky cliffs on the island, which created perfect harmony.
Starting out as a Fashion designer, I discovered ceramics in 2014 and have been obsessed ever since. Winning The Great Pottery Throw Down in 2020 gave me the confidence to contact and establish galleries, where I now show and sell my ceramic art.
The focus in my work is on the interplay between one living thing beside another.
The ceramic sculptures are a story of our relationship with each other and ourselves.
My work is a mixture of hand-built and thrown pieces that are then altered. The emphasis is on the contrast of the texture and the choice of white and black clay, as well as the various tones you achieve when combining them together. The placement of the individual ceramics gives them a new dimension by capturing the relationship between the objects.
I aim to reflect the journey of life onto my vessels, the history we all have to tell, and what makes us interesting humans. Life and our journey do not always show up at first glance, but they are within us and might only be visible if you look closer.
