Molly Roškar

Molly Roškar (b. 1980, she/her) is an artist and educator based in Zurich. Her sculptural practice focuses on natural and foraged materials—wood, stone, minerals, and dye plants—which she uses to create functional and poetic objects that reflect a deep engagement with landscape and craft.

Her work has been shown in Zurich at Kabinett Visarte, Kupper Modern, and Volumes Art Publishing Days. She is a contributor to Doris Stauffer: Source Book. Ideas for a Collective Artistic Practice (Spector Books, autumn 2025), and led a related workshop as part of a series on feminist pedagogy and collective art-making at the Musée des Beaux-Arts La Chaux-de-Fonds. She is a contributor to a collaborative installation in the exhibition "Im Haus der grossen Frau" at Kunsthaus Langenthal.

In November 2025, Roškar will take part in surcusida, a collaborative performance with alpine chef Rebecca Clopath. This sensory event combines natural cuisine with handcrafted tableware made by Roškar from local wood and clay, inviting reflection on how materials shape our experience of taste and place.

Her hand-carved vases will be featured at the Museum Rietberg shop from August.

Roškar teaches traditional woodcarving techniques through the Zurich-based Verein Dranbleiben.

She sometimes still restores objects. You can always ask!
