class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchorContainer\" data-start=\"24\" data-end=\"287\"><strong data-start=\"24\" data-end=\"46\">Sofia Sotiropoulou<\/strong> studied Interior Architecture at VAKALO Art &amp; Design College in Athens (2002\u20132004) and continued her studies at the Polytechnic University of Catalonia in Spain, where she obtained a postgraduate degree in Interior Architecture (2004\u20132008).<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"289\" data-end=\"728\">Her engagement with ceramics began in 2012 in Uruguay, at the Piri\u00e1polis Cultural Centre in Maldonado. Upon returning to Greece, she continued her training in a range of ceramic techniques and approaches, including mould-making, wheel throwing, ceramic technology and hand-building. From 2016 to 2018, she studied at the Iridanos School of Ceramics in Kerameikos, Athens, under Menandros Papadopoulos, Nikos Sklavenitis and Yiannis Liakos.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"730\" data-end=\"1091\">For Sofia, clay is a medium through which ideas acquire material and three-dimensional form. The direct relationship with the material, and the ability to create objects with volume, weight and a tangible physical presence, lie at the core of her artistic practice. Ceramics is, for her, both a field of continuous exploration and an ongoing creative challenge.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1093\" data-end=\"1268\">Since February 2018, she has run her own ceramics studio, fulfilling a lifelong dream and creating a space dedicated to daily practice, research and experimentation with clay.<\/p>\n<h4 data-start=\"1270\" data-end=\"1290\">Ceramic Studies<\/h4>\n<ul data-start=\"1292\" data-end=\"1720\">\n<li data-section-id=\"e34swh\" data-start=\"1292\" data-end=\"1366\"><strong data-start=\"1294\" data-end=\"1307\">2012\u20132013<\/strong> \u2014 Ceramics, Piri\u00e1polis Cultural Centre, Maldonado, Uruguay<\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"10fjwcm\" data-start=\"1367\" data-end=\"1447\"><strong data-start=\"1369\" data-end=\"1382\">2013\u20132015<\/strong> \u2014 Ceramics &amp;
