Sophie Victoria Anderson

Sophie crafts silver and enamel jewellery and small enamelled objects from her home workshop in South Manchester. She uses a sgraffito technique with wet process enamel that often reflects her drawings. This is a process she developed whilst studying for her degree in Decorative Arts at Nottingham Trent University, where she produced a selection of enamelled 3D copper pebbles and chased silver pebbles for her graduate collection in 2019. Her work explores the tactile quality of objects and features a monochromatic palette. Sophie takes inspiration from textural surfaces and found objects she happens across whilst exploring rugged coastlines or just going about day to day life. She uses photography as a reference and draws in alternative mediums such as collage or stitch which she uses to inform her practice.
