Peter Rose, born 1956 in Adelaide, Australia, earned his Bachelor of Education in History and Art in 1981 at Flinders University. After attaining his degree he pursued training in design receiving an Arts and Design Diploma at O'Halloran Hill Technical School. He then went to the South Australian School of Art for printmaking.

During this time Rose became more interested in pottery and decided to go to Japan, where he worked as an apprentice in Bizen, Japan, a town renowned world-wide for wood firing. Rose then spent two years learning the craft of wood firing, the tea ceremony and the Zen philosophy associated with the history of Japanese clay traditions. When he returned to Australia he was accepted into the Jam Factory in South Australia as a clay trainee for two years. After finishing this apprenticeship Rose spent two years traveling to the USA and England working in potteries.

In 1987 Rose settled in Tennessee, where he set up Potters Pond Pottery, building a wood kiln just two years later as a solid foundation for the beginning of his career as a professional potter.

In 2005 Rose was a cofounder of Imani Collective Workshops in Craft, a socio economic empowerment program for women in Eldoret, Kenya
