Sophie Cook graduated in 1997 from Camberwell School of Arts and her work can now be found in some of the most beautiful residencies worldwide. In 2002 she won the Adrian Sassoon Award of the Kiln at Chelsea Crafts Fair.

Sophie lives on the Suffolk coast with her partner and their 3 boys. The Suffolk landscape continues to be an inspiration for her work, most recently she has developed a new range of earth tone colours, ranging from umber to deepest navy.

“My bottles, pods and teardrops are about colour and form. An individual piece works well but displayed in groups they become a three dimensional still life.”

“Every piece is a challenge to make as porcelain is such a fluid medium on the wheel. I throw four pieces a day, which are left to dry for two days and are then carved to refine the shape. Once sprayed they dry for a week. It is an incredibly delicate process. Rarely, if ever, do all four pieces survive the carving and firing processes.”

Sophie has kindly opened her studio for the Meet the Artist experience.
