We’re Honoured to Win the ROSA Prize – Sussex Craft Awards 2025

We’re delighted to share that Ash & Plumb has been awarded the ROSA Prize at the Sussex Craft Awards 2025, presented during this year’s Sussex Craft Week.

The ROSA Prize is given to one maker who demonstrates exceptional skill, creativity, and commitment to their craft. To receive this recognition amongst such an inspiring shortlist of artists is a real honour.

This year’s finalists represent the vibrant breadth of contemporary craft across the region — from furniture and ceramics to weaving, jewellery, and sculpture. We’re proud to have exhibited alongside:

The finalist exhibition is currently on view at Newlands House Gallery until 22 June 2025 — we highly recommend a visit to see the full collection of works in person.

We’re incredibly grateful to the sponsors and organisers who made this award and exhibition possible. A heartfelt thank you to:

West Dean, Newlands House Gallery, The Makers Directory, Highweald Wine Estate, King & McGaw, The Bell in Ticehurst, and Tutton & Young.

It’s moments like this that affirm the power of craft and community in Sussex.
