Bio:
Bernard Rooke (1938–2019) was a British ceramic artist and sculptor renowned for his distinctive Brutalist stoneware creations. After studying at Guildford School of Art, he established his own studio in the 1960s and gained international recognition for his architectural forms, deeply carved reliefs, and earthy glazes.
