Handbuilding Ceramic Trophy Workshop with Jenny Ibsen

Description

This workshop with ceramic artist Jenny Ibsen will explore relationships between color, illustration and playful forms through hand building tiny trophies. Jenny’s most recent series of trophies existed in an imaginary world in which rabbits give each other awards—Head Cabbage, Top Carrot, #1 Bun, and Crown Jewel—trophies in which everyone (or every bun) is a winner. Come make an award for a loved one, a show of gratitude for some delicious vegetables, a thank you to your favorite spot in Maine, a note to self, or even a good-enough Nice Try. We’ll be making whimsical trophies for all—objects, places, people, moments—congratulating them for whatever it is they do. Pieces will be fired by Chases’ Garage and available for pick-up within 2 weeks after the class. All are welcome, no prior experience in ceramics necessary. Materials will be provided.
