About Emma Bridgewater....Emma Bridgewater is the oldest daughter in a large family.She grew up in North Oxford. Her mother's bohemian style is the inspiration for her work. She started designing sponge-decorated pottery after searching and failing to find her the perfect cup and saucer for a birthday present. Her father started, built up and eventually sold a publishing business; this gave Emma an insight into entrpreneurial life.
Emma graduated from London University with a degree in English Literature. Her first and only job was working for knitwear designers Muir & Osborne. She became involved in every aspect of this small fashion company and it gave her the taste for doing something for herself. She designed a small collection of patterns and shapes and went to Stoke-on-Trent, in search of a manufacturer, she fortunately found in a talented model-maker with a small workshop making good quality earthenware goods in Chemical Lane, Longbridge Hayes. He started making Emma’s pottery and before long almost his entire factory was turned over to the production of her spongeware.
