Sophie Victoria Anderson
Sophie makes 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 Sophie 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.
Sophie's work explores the tactile quality of objects and features a monochromatic palette. She likes to take inspiration from textural surfaces and found objects she happens across whilst exploring rugged coastlines or just going about day to day life. Sophie uses photography as a reference and draws in alternative mediums such as collage or stitch which she uses to inform her practice.
