Sophie Rogers is a Nottingham-based ceramicist creating sculptural lighting and homewares from her studio. Her practice is rooted in the ancient Japanese carving technique of Kurinuki, which she has adapted to develop a distinctive language for functional and sculptural forms. Material exploration lies at the heart of her work, with an instinctive and tactile process shaped by organic materials, geological formations, and natural landscapes. Her objects balance elegance and restraint with a quiet sense of monumentality.

Through the Kurinuki process, each piece emerges through subtraction, revealing subtle variations that make every work unique. Rogers embraces this unpredictability, allowing material and process to guide the final form. Her work combines simplicity with technical complexity, particularly through ambitious scale, while maintaining functionality and refinement. Positioned between contemporary craft and design, her bespoke objects celebrate material honesty, individuality, and the enduring beauty of the handmade.
