A popular television personality known for appearances on BBC Breakfast and Saturday Kitchen, Jez Rose, has embraced a new passion for pottery after facing financial difficulties that led to a career shift. Despite previous success on various TV programs and as a best-selling author, Jez experienced a significant financial setback due to missed tax obligations and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on public speaking engagements.
Reflecting on his journey, Jez acknowledged his role in the business downfall and the importance of personal accountability. With a fresh perspective, he found solace in pottery during a holiday in Cornwall, ultimately leading him to establish ‘Found,’ a certified carbon-neutral ceramics studio in Bulwick, Rutland. Through meticulous research and eco-conscious practices, Jez ensures sustainability in his craft, utilizing energy-efficient kilns and a closed-loop water system for clay reuse.
Upcoming plans include the launch of a limited edition collection of handmade ceramics, each intentionally designed with imperfections as a nod to Buddhist principles that embrace the beauty of flaws. Jez’s newfound contentment in pottery symbolizes a transformative journey from adversity to fulfillment, marking a significant chapter in his life’s narrative.
