wow.

wow, is about all I can say… and well, thank you!

Jenni Ward ceramic sculpture | shop | bone series

If you missed your monthly email blast this March, I did a very unusual thing and put all my work from the Bone Series on sale. Within hours of sending out my email blast, half of my work was sold. By the end of the day only one piece remained.

I was hoping to clear out some of my inventory from the online shop and the studio but I did not expect it all to go at once. So a big thank you to everyone who adopted new art and congrats for being the fastest online art shoppers! To those of you that missed it or missed out on getting the sculptures you had your eye on, as I mentioned there is just one lonely guy (whom I happen to love! ) still left in the shop and nobody likes getting picked last, so someone give this baby a happy home!

And, pay attention to your emails because maybe we’ll do this again someday!

the last of the nest series!

The last two pieces from the limited edition – made in iceland nests are now available in the online shop! These guys may be small but they have a lot of visual energy balancing on their pokey points! They are only $65 each and they won’t last long – click the link to make them yours… SHOP NOW

Commissioned Work…

I’m currently working on a few commissioned pieces, and it occurred to me that you may not even think to ask about having a piece commissioned. I always have work available in my online shop but if you see something that you love but you want it a little bigger, smaller, or a different color or (the worst!) when a series you had your eye on sells out before you added it to your cart. If this happens, drop me an email and I’d be happy to work with you to create a custom sculpture for your home, garden or office. There’s even a form in the online shop to help you start the process.

Works for Sale in the Online SHOP!

Just a little reminder that if you missed seeing my work at Open Studios or any other art event this past year, you can still purchase work from the online shop. There are smaller works available from the Bone, Nest, Hive & Rock Candy Series as well as Art Hearts, Books and Gift Certificates… check out this sampling of what’s available or SHOP NOW

It Snowed on the Umbels!

I was sent these pictures of my bright red Umbel Installation this morning after a proper snowfall in Mariestad Sweden. I love, love, love seeing them with with little piles of snow contrasting the red glaze. They remind me of the red winter berries on all of the shrubs. Happy Winter!!

The Umbels Are Up!

It’s hard to believe in just a few short months; an application, turned into an acception, a sketch turned into a sculpture and now, I have a permanent public art installation in Mariestad Sweden. I’m so grateful for everyone who had a hand in making this happen. And I really look forward to seeing how this installation will change over the seasons. I’ve been trying to imagine the snow cover first, and then the green leaves coming back to the trees in the background of the sculptures and eventually to 12′ tall hops plants that will be planted and flank the Umbel flowers on either side- lots to look forward too! More pics coming to the installation page soon!

And she’s off!

And She's Off! | the dirt | Jenni Ward ceramic sculptureYesterday afternoon, my art went out on an adventure! A crate of sculptural parts is on its way to Sweden and I’ll be meeting it on the other side in a few weeks. Fingers crossed that it makes it there ok!

I know I’ve spoken about this before but the pressure of creating installational artwork is always a thrill. I really never know if it will all work out until it has. This installation in Sweden is no exception. I’m shipping all the parts which I hope will arrive ok, then I’m counting on my team in Sweden to help me assemble and install this piece in a place I’ve never been before. I’m also trusting all of my testing and consultations with experts that the clay will be able to survive the winters there. All the moving parts of this project make for a slew of opportunities where everything can go wrong, but that’s all part of the fun!

More to come on this project in a few weeks!
