After facing a financial setback and losing his wealth, Jez Rose, a familiar face from BBC Breakfast and Saturday Kitchen, expresses contentment with his new pursuit in pottery. Formerly a prominent figure on various TV programs and an author of a best-selling book, Jez saw a significant portion of his earnings vanish. Despite prior success, including hosting shows on ITV, BBC One, Discovery, and QVC, Jez encountered financial challenges due to missed tax payments and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on his public speaking engagements.
Reflecting on his journey, Jez acknowledges his role in the downfall of his business and the importance of personal accountability in business decisions. With a newfound passion for pottery sparked during a holiday in Cornwall, Jez transitioned to a fulfilling life in Rutland, establishing ‘Found,’ a carbon-neutral ceramics studio in Bulwick. Through meticulous research and sustainable practices, Jez ensures minimal environmental impact in his pottery production.
Integrating Buddhist principles into his craft, Jez embraces imperfection as a core element of his creations, emphasizing the value of accepting life’s inherent flaws. His upcoming collection of limited edition ceramics, characterized by intentional imperfections, will debut on foundceramics.com. Jez’s journey exemplifies resilience, personal growth, and a commitment to sustainability in his new artistic venture.
