{ About }
Sofia Antonia Frieda Caers
Sofia Caers (b. 1998, Switzerland) is a multidisciplinary artist, crafter and land worker based in Scotland.
« Throughout my time at the Glasgow School of Art my art 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 much more proficient forager and herbalist, and also learned to carve wood, spin wool with drop spindle and spinning wheel, dye with plants and fungi, weave baskets using willow, hazel, ivy and dogwood and tanning leather and pelts.
Read more about my time in the tent here.
In 2025 I relocated to the Midlothian countryside, where I am currently working with a yurtsmith on the build of a yurt of my own - alongside continuing deepening my connection to Land, learning about plants and traditional crafts.
As part of Makers Collective, I’ve started holding workshops to share my skills. So far I’ve taught basket weaving, willow bird feeders, herbal stuffed pillows and oak gall ink making.
My focus at present is mostly on tanning, willow weaving and developing my art practice. »
