Rosie Glassey
Maker, Designer and Creative living and working in the Manx Hills.
This is where my work lives. Twenty seven years of making things for people, and everything that has grown from that — including two ventures that I hope will be useful to you.
What would you like to explore?
Just Three Places
If you run a commission-based creative business and the admin side quietly overwhelms you, you're not alone. Helpful advice and a simple, physical system that captures everything and magically loads it automatically onto a spreadsheet so that you can find anything in under a minute.
The Community Noticeboard
Sensible advice and professional promotional materials for community event organisers. Professionally typeset marketing materials for printing or sharing online - designed to look excellent and priced for village hall budgets.
A Day in the Life
The blog. Stone engraving, Jesmonite, markets, the Isle of Man, community events and the reality of running a creative business. Come and have a look around.
This is for you if:
You make things to order and the business side of that sometimes feels heavier than the creative side
You organise community events and need professional promotional materials without agency prices
You're curious about the reality of running a creative business on a small island — the making, the organising, the figuring it out
You value calm, honest communication over hype
A little about me
I have been engraving stone on the Isle of Man for twenty seven years — running a bespoke commission business where every job is different and every client is someone's something.
Along the way I have organised community events, designed promotional materials, developed systems for keeping the chaos manageable, and learned a great deal about what it actually takes to run a creative business for the long term.
Everything on this site comes from that experience. Nothing is borrowed or theoretical.
