Jenny Ibsen – Handbuilding Ceramic Trophy Workshop Sunday, July 26, 10am – 1pm This workshop with ceramic artist Jenny Ibsen will explore relationships between color, illustration and playful forms through handbuilding 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. Click here to register. All are welcome, no prior experience in ceramics necessary. Materials will be provided. JENNY IBSEN is a Maine-based artist and organizer with a community-centered art practice. Her ceramic works are often colorful, hand-built terracotta vessels that intend to facilitate connection at the dinner table among friends and strangers alike. Jenny moved to Maine in 2014 to pursue her BA at Bowdoin College. She is a co-organizer for Tender Table and lives in Portland, Maine.
