By Sofia Karolina

Nestled in the picturesque landscape of Västerbotten, between Umeå and Skellefteå, is By Sofia Karolina, an oasis for those seeking creativity and craftsmanship. Located at Gunsmark 132 in Ånäset, it offers unique ceramic experiences in a rustic and nature-inspired setting. Sofia draws inspiration from the nature of northern Sweden to create handmade ceramic items like cups, bowls, and pitchers, each featuring carefully selected motifs such as flowers and butterflies. Pottery courses are available for those interested in exploring their own creativity, where both beginners and experienced potters can learn techniques like wheel throwing and slab building. Visitors to the summer shop, housed in an old hay barn, can enjoy locally roasted coffee while admiring the craftsmanship. With a strong environmental focus and as part of Västerbotten Experience, By Sofia Karolina provides a genuine insight into the region's culture and sustainable crafts.
