Kendra prefers to sculpt using the slower steady method with just a hammer and chisel, it feels more familiar and intimate to me. I enjoy the challenges and surprises along the sculpting journey, and I love it when small fossils occasionally appear.

Recent developments in Jenning’s work have seen the inclusion of mixed media painting applied to the surface of the clay after firing. The clay has become like a canvas on which she can apply experimental designs and textures.

I am self-taught and find it’s a great privilege to be able to create with these mediums and art forms. I enjoy carving human form. I feel doing human form connects me with my ancestral history which brings a whole new meaning and purpose to the finished art work.

In 2007 I began working with my partner to produce mixed media. A game changing highlight came in 2017 when I went to the International Ceramics Studio in Hungary to study a Masterclass in Porcelain. I have been exploring paper porcelain ever since.

My sculptures are an exploration of my passion for texture, patterns and experimentations with light. I love repetition. Although in each series of my work pieces are all similar and connected, each one is hand-made and unique if only by a small difference.

A few years ago I developed a new material to make large lightweight wall tiles that I found out later had advantages as a medium for art. I call it Artis Fiberclay. It feels like stone in texture and looks like terracotta except it is light and a kiln is not needed.
