Sofia Tufvasson (designer)
Sofia Tufvasson is an artist based in Sweden. She started her professional life as a graphic designer but after 20 years she decided to shift her focus to clay and ceramics. Today Sofia is creating beautiful handcrafted sculptures and functional objects from her studio in Stockholm.
Clay has always been a fascinating material for Sofia Tufvasson. Having worked in the two dimensional world as graphic designer, the clay offered her freedom to think and create three-dimensionally. Her inspiration is found in everyday situations and places such as nature or a shape or certain shadow she passes.
“I have as long as I remember loved to be creative and it has been a challenge to find new ways to express my ideas, with many different materials during the years. But clay is my absolute favourite. It is complicated and very often a frustrating material to work with due to a lot of limitations but at the same time so close and alive.” says Sofia.
