About

Sofía is a Uruguayan textile artist and maker based in London. Her practice explores visual expression and craft through the technique of needle felting.

She creates joyful, playful soft pieces, mainly wall hangings, drawing inspiration from nature, childhood memories, daily life, and play. Her work aims to evoke smiles while encouraging a reconnection with one's inner child and the visual world.

Sofia’s pieces explore a variety of natural materials and fibres, including coconut coir, raffia, wool and flax. She has a Masters in textiles from the Royal College of Art and her work was selected in 2024 as finalist of the New York Textile Month, Dorothy Waxman International Textile Design Prize. Sofia welcomes commissions.
