After gaining a first-class BA in Ceramics from Cardiff Metropolitan University, Sophie was one of six artists to win the Future Lights European competition for ceramicists early in their careers. The prize was to exhibit at Ambiente in Frankfurt and a two-week design project at Villeroy & Boch.
Sophie is already establishing a reputation as a sculptural ceramicist for her use of colour, texture and negative space to create optical illusions that explore human-object interaction. She will continue to experiment with traditional techniques and modern technologies during an MA in Ceramics & Glass at the Royal College of Art supported by QEST.
