Sofia Sullivan Ceramic artist and arts psychotherapist:

Explorer, creator and maker of precious things

Sofia hand builds functional and decorative ceramics. Each piece is unique and one off. Her approach is playful, spontaneous and process led. She is interested in the live process of making and allowing the piece to emerge in the moment. What she produces is a record of the dance, the dialog between herself and the clay. These moments of connection take form and hold the energy and expression of the reciprocal relationship between Sofia and the clay.  

Her work draws from and explores relationships, connections and the multi layered experience. The relationships we have with ourselves, other people, the object we surround ourselves with and the world we live in.

Sofia has a BA and MA in Ceramic design form Central Saint Martians. She mainly coils and slab builds the pieces. Then decorate the forms with coloured slips. Often layering and overlapping different colours and shapes, using techniques such as sgraffito, inlay, slip trailing to archive the desired effect.

Sofia follows the flow of her emerging creative energy, to make potent joyful work that sings.
