Sophie Bowen is an artist and designer-maker based in Southwest England. She studied BA Drawing at Falmouth University followed by completing a Masters in Textiles at Bath Spa University.  

Sophie works with natural dyes, print and hand embroidery techniques to connect to nature and  mindfulness whilst maintaining a conscience for sustainability. Drawing is at the heart of her  creative practice using it as an intuitive and contemplative tool to create a sense of movement  and flow. Marks made initially with brush and ink are translated through a variety of textile  processes.  

Connecting experientially to the creative process, Sophie allows elements of her work to emerge  and unfold organically. Walking in the landscape and the study of nature’s rhythms facilitate a  contemplative thinking through making approach. 

Sophie runs workshops sharing her processes in natural dyeing, drawing and hand embroidery at New Brewery Arts. Head to their website to find out more.
