Head Stores - Workshop Offering

This workshop takes place on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, May 2, 3, & 4, with an additional session on Friday, May 9. To get the most out of this workshop, students should already be comfortable with hand-building techniques, including pinch, coil, and slab building. If you've taken a hand-building class with Jeanine before, you're eligible for this course. Please note, this is not a class for total beginners. The pace is moderate, but we’ll cover a lot of information, and we’ll be working on a larger scale, building on your existing skills.

During the workshop, we’ll use hand-building techniques to create heads and shoulders in clay. Working with kiln-fired paper clay, Jeanine will break down the face into sections and provide simple instructions for crafting facial features like eyes, noses, mouths, teeth, and ears. After that, we’ll create the torso and neck separately and assemble everything together.

On days 1-3, we’ll focus on creating the head and torso, which will be bisque-fired during the week between sessions. On the 4th day, we’ll dive into underglaze layering techniques and paint facial details onto the bisque-fired pieces. The final glaze firing will complete your work, which will be ready for pickup within a few weeks.

The workshop fee includes all firings, clay, glazes, and take-home tutorials. Basic tools are provided by the studio, but a list of additional tools will be emailed to you by Jeanine.

Workshop has limited space.

Solo Show - How did I get Here?

The things that worried me at 15 are not the same that worry me at 55

The more I thought about it

I wondered about the people who made up the first half of my life

But are gone for good from the second half.

I am documenting this moment

when I realized the choices I made,

the people that I met

(The good ones and bad)

came together in just the right way

to get me where I needed to be

Right now.

How Did I Get Here?

My solo show will be coming in Late Spring/early Summer 2024.

I will keep you posted on the Date and Location when I confirm.

I am looking forward to sharing what I discover

with you.

Stepping off the page: Stories in Clay - solo show

Monmouth University’s Ice House Gallery

West Long Branch, NJ

Jeanine Pennell: Stepping Off the Page: Stories in Clay

An exhibition of work by artist Jeanine Pennell

Artist Statement:
I began this year journeying away from the studio. I left behind my bags of clay and my work tools. Bringing with me only a sketchbook and watercolors. It was the first time since the pandemic that I was away from clay.

I was in search of a new creative process. All of my early sculptures were created in short spurts of time, capturing the fleeting magic of a creative idea, much like gesture drawing. But this process did not serve when I began to push the boundaries. As the sculptures grew and I was creating without a clear end in mind, I found myself stuck. Clay figures draped in plastic shrouds collected in the corners of my studio.

During this time away I turned the process around. I began drawing small intuitive drawings. The sketches were quick, with no purpose or expectation. Capturing the essence of ideas that would float up. Later I would return to color them in and to excavate the meaning behind the art. What did the masks mean? The sharp teeth…faces and more faces? What did it all mean?

I then developed the ideas from my sketchbook in 3-D or clay by creating small maquettes. Once the sculptures were completed early mornings found me sitting with the art to write what I saw. The stories came out. Slowly at first, but with practice more steadily.

This collection is a record of that journey. In the main gallery is a collection of the largest, finished sculptures. As you descend to the lower gallery you will encounter the beginning of the journey. On display are the original drawings, maquettes and early sculptures as well as the stories behind the art.

Opening Reception September 30, 2022   7 PM – 9 PM | Ice House Gallery

Gallery Hours: Monday - Friday 10-5
