Rosemary & Co: Handcrafted Artist Brushes From the UK
Founded by Rosemary Thompson in the 1980s, Rosemary & Co is renowned for their handcrafted, high quality artists’ brushes from the UK.
Rosemary's background with ABS Brushes, a UK-based manufacturer known for high quality brushes, laid the foundation for her expertise in brushmaking. After ABS Brushes ceased operations, Rosemary carried their legacy forward by founding Rosemary & Co.
With decades of experience, Rosemary has travelled the world to source materials and learn diverse brushmaking techniques, training a team of skilled artisans to follow her methods.
Operating from their workshop in Yorkshire, Rosemary & Co offers a wide range of brushes tailored to various mediums, from watercolour and gouache to acrylic and oil paint.
Their commitment to quality and passion for art have made Rosemary & Co brushes a favourite among artists worldwide. The company maintains a close relationship with the artistic community, offering workshops and engaging with artists globally.
‘I’m fortunate that my trade has allowed me to travel the world both sourcing materials and learning different styles of manufacturing. It’s from these resources that I find my own methods of making brushes and trained my team “my way”. I have trained a team of highly skilled brush makers to follow suit. I am passionate about art and I hope this shines through in our products.’
