Slab Building a Wall Shelf with Jaime Jenkins

Join this workshop to explore the techniques of constructing a slab-built wall shelf. Participants will learn the process of preparing slabs, designing and creating a cardboard template, and assembling a small single-layer shelf. Jaime will guide the class, sharing her expertise and insights into creating structurally sound slab-built sculptural pieces throughout the workshop.

Jaime hand-builds stoneware pieces that push the definitions of what clay can and should do. Teetering on the edges of functionality and fragility, her works take on structural, organic and intricate forms. Chain linked works and bells are frequent subjects in Jaime’s practice, objects that create movement and sound. These sit alongside dense architectural pieces that can be used as stools, shelves and tables, or works that simply exist in isolation as large sculptures.
