Sophie Alda

Sophie Alda is a Bristol-based, London-born artist and designer. She explores the relationship between the functional, the sculptural and the narratively suggestive, approaching materiality and tactility in a playful way while rejecting the hierarchy of the practically useful/ art object within craft or otherwise.

Sophie Alda is a founding member of workshop co-operative Clay Collective based in Hackney, London. The aims in forming the organisation and space were to provide a democratic and supportive space and community in which practitioners could work and collaborate, sharing skills, space, ideas and resources.
