{ About }
Sofia Antonia Frieda Caers
I am a multidisciplinary artist and crafter, a landworker, forager and student of herbal medicine.
Throughout my time at the Glasgow School of Art, my practice developed more and more towards nature, folklore and rewilding. Drawn to working with natural materials and connecting with ancestral practices, after graduating I felt the need to move into the Land and experience it fully.
For two years I lived in a canvas bell tent by the woods in North Lanarkshire. I have acquired many skills through it, such as being a more proficient forager and herbalist, and also learned to carve wood, spin wool, weave baskets, tan leather and pelts.
Read more about my time in the tent here.
In 2025 I relocated to the Midlothian countryside, where I shadowed a yurtsmith to build a new home made of canvas and wood. That is now my full-time home, from where I continue developing my art practice and deepening my connection to Land, learning about plants and traditional crafts.
As part of the Makers Collective I run the ‘Wyrd Fair of Mystics and Makers’ taking place following the Celtic wheel calendar, in Edinburgh city centre.
I recently opened Cunning Folk Craft as a space to share my makings.
