Rosemarie Cooke

Rosemarie creates animals, birds and figures out of clay. They are individually hand built in a variety of stoneware clays, biscuit-fired, then glazed thinly or finished with various stains and oxides, before being fired to 1260°C in an electric kiln.

Rosemarie enjoys the challenge of manipulating the clay into the desired form, be it a dodo standing precariously on two legs or a large squat toad firmly resting on its belly. Texture is of great importance in her work.

Rosemarie is a Selected Member of Anglian Potters and takes an active part in all their exhibitions.
