$233.00
Description
Having grown up immersed in the world of craft alongside her father, a highly regarded master furniture maker and restorer, the English artist Sophie Coryndon is drawn to all forms of craftsmanship, especially dying crafts. She possesses mastery of a dizzyingly wide range of skills, from woodwork and bronze casting to painting and sculpture. Likewise, she mines a broad range of inspiration from medieval illuminated manuscripts, renaissance altar-pieces, historical ornament, cabinets of curiosity, and mythology. She’s like a magpie collecting bits of beauty, which she weaves into her art. Her pieces pay homage to nature, particularly toits intricate and intelligent patterns. She will often blow up the scale in her work to draw outa sense of wonder in the enchantments found in the natural world through close observation. But, while Coryndon imagines herself standing on the shoulders of all the craftsmen who came before her, she is always reimagining old techniques and materials, devising new ways to use them, and experimenting with modern ones.

Sudpsuez Sophie Wilson Lamp Base & Atelier Vime Lampshade
When Sophie Wilson’s three youngest children were small, she decided to open a little shop in the entry hall of her gorgeously dilapidated 16th-century manor house in the English countryside. She sold some soap and jam and candles, but when the potter she enlisted to make ceramics couldn’t keep up with demand, she decided to make them herself. Thanks to her very personal aesthetic and the intimate photography she did of her work amidst her actual family life in the faded glamour of her old house and the power of Instagram, the rest is history. The shop closed, and the ceramics took off. Wilson’s work is fantastical and intelligent, mining the history of decorative arts and her own personal passions, and so deeply human and obviously handmade. Her signature technique is slipware—a style associated with the Staffordshire potteries of the 17th century, created by coating semi-hard red clay with a ‘slip’ of liquid white clay. She then uses the centuries-old Roman decorative technique of sgraffito( meaning scratched), where she etches her vigorous, sinuous line drawings into the wet surface to reveal the red clay beneath.
