Meet Roz (Rosemarie Mountford), from Burslem. Roz has skills. She’s a transferrer working on Burleigh ware at Middleport Pottery. She followed her mum into the pottery industry back in the 1980s, starting as a lithographer at Royal Doulton. Now Roz is one of just 11 people at Burleigh who have this ages-old skill. It took her seven years to get to this standard. Burleigh is the only place in the world where this craft survives. We are The Sentinel: #localandproud | Stoke-on-Trent Live
