Sophie Layton

Sophie is an innovative artist. Her time is divided between sketching in the attic space of her home in South London and creating in the print workshop at her studio in Brixton. “I love the physical and intellectual process of printmaking; the way results build up and ideas emerge onto paper, demanding constant decision-making.”

After graduating from Brighton University in 2009 she was awarded a residency at London Metropolitan University and later at the Scuola di Graphica in Venice in 2012.  Sophie toured print workshops throughout Japan in autumn 2017, which has influenced her work.  Sophie enjoys film, travel and taking photos, which often feed their way into her dynamic work.
