Sophie Nolan is a ceramicist based on the Northern Beaches of Sydney. By using traditional hand building techniques, Sophie creates one-of-a-kind curvy, sensual vases, each shape holding its own presence and personality. Sophie’s background in graphic design has given her a keen eye for shapes, balance and form. What began as a side line passion swiftly became her main focus, taking on commissions, supplying high end interior stores, art concept stores and stylists, being featured in designed spaces, fashion styled stories and publications. Sophie has exhibited her work at galleries including St Cloche, Henry Jones Gallery and Michael Reid. The celebration of the human form, focusing on the beauty of our unique imperfections, curves, nuances and individualism is a constant theme running through her work. Sophie begins with a characteristic in mind, sketches out the shape, unique in angles and curves, then slowly moulds the desired form and allows the essence to emerge.
