Rosie Bill

"After graduating with a degree in metal work and jewellery from Sheffield Hallam, I started my career working for international fashion designer, Lara Bohinc, for whom I was her principal maker. In 2005 I set up my own studio in Leamington Spa.

While working as a gardener, I was continually digging up broken pieces of pottery which contained echoes of the past. Although chipped and grubby at the edges, the detail of the patterns in each fragment inspired me to create my 'Lost & Found' collection, in which I set the pieces into silver to create unique and contemporary jewellery.

The intention is to breathe new life into discarded objects."
