Rose Sharp Jones is a designer maker working with knitted, crocheted & printed textiles. She completed a BA in Textile Design at Central Saint Martins College of Art & Design and after returning to study, gaining an MA in Textile Design at Chelsea College of Art & Design, she established her business in 2009.
Much of Rose's inspiration comes from traditional textiles - how fabrics were made and used as well as their aesthetic appearance.
Rose's textile designs are applied to a range of products for the home as well as a collection of wearable accessories. Environmentally friendly and sustainable yarns & materials are used throughout. Rose designs and makes all pieces herself either by hand or using a knitting machine.
Based in London, Rose also works as a freelance knit & crochet designer.
