Rose Sharp Jones completed a BA in Textile Design at Central Saint Martins College of Art & Design. After returning to study and 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 textile techniques such as smocking and Aran knit stitches. Knit, crochet & embroidery stitches are applied to create a range of products for the home as well as wearable accessories such as scarves, hats and mittens. Rose also designs a collection of screen printed fabrics using her hand drawn images.
Rose designs and makes all pieces herself either by hand or using a knitting machine. All are made using organic and sustainable materials.
Based in London, Rose also works as a freelance knit and crochet designer. All products are available to order - please contact Rose for further details or for any other information. Commissions are also welcome.
