Talking about her work in a recent interview in Ceramic Review, Sophie Cook said:
"I'm always striving to find the next perfect shape or the next perfect colour - it's an obsession."

And it is an obsession. Sophie throws at least four pieces a day of the same shape, creating bottle, pod and teardrop forms in her pursuit of perfection. Her throwing is precise and the making process often precarious. After two days of drying, the pots are then carved for a refined silhouette - an extremely time consuming process. Once spray-glazed, they stand to dry for a week and are fired to 1250°C. It is an incredibly delicate operation and rarely, if ever, do all four pieces survive.
