Description

The Tree of Knowledge is a three-part clay tree with a trunk made of ceramic books. Rosemary Swan began working in clay in 1971 and founded the Gloucester Pottery School 20 years later, in 1991. After completing a degree in fine art, she began working on large murals such as this Raku triptych.
