An Introduction to Hannah Jayne

on

Hello everyone! My name is Hannah Jayne and I am from Littleton, MA. I am a sophomore here at WPI majoring in Mechanical Engineering and concentrating in Biomechanics. All my life, I have been surrounded by art. I grew up alongside two very creative parents who proved to me there are no limits to creativity. I watched my father do woodwork and build most of the furniture that is now being used in my house. I watched my mother paint landscapes which are now abundant around the walls of the house. Naturally, I became an artist myself when every Christmas my father would buy me a new “craft”. Some years it was stained glass, some years it was wood burning, some years it was glass blowing, or some years it was jewelry making. Each year served as a new and exciting project and challenge that he loved to watch me get into. When I came to school here, I lost my workspace in my house at home as well as the guidance from my father 24/7. For this reason, I gravitated towards completing my depth in art. I find that my creative side truly helps the more technical side of what I am studying. In the field of biomechanics, I aspire to work and develop prosthetics to be more suitable for the human body. I hope my creative side comes into play here and serves as a nice foundation for helping the advancement of new discoveries. I look forward to expanding my knowledge of art in this course and exploring all the capabilities of laser cutting in the makerspace. I am excited to create multiple projects through digital software as I have not yet explored that!

    hello! i am going to leave you the quirky badge as I think that your art is a little different but quite impressive. I have never soldered before and it seems you have some experience with that. I am not entirely sure what the orange soldered piece is made of, but i love the color and the use of the shapes to kind of offset the squares. great job and i hope you have a good weekend!

    Hi Hannah, I will give you the striking badge. I really like your snow landscape piece. I was drawn into when I first saw it, made me feel like I was put in a serene peaceful snowy alternate world.

    I’m going to leave you the shiny badge. A lot of your ceramics and glasswork have a very pretty sheen to them. Combined with their vibrant colors it makes them really stand out in a room.

    Hi Hannah, I would have to saw your work is rather shiny with your stained glass projects. I’ve worked a bit it in and I’ve come to appreciate the craft. Your other glass projects are simply stunning as well!

  6. Imogen says:

    Colourful: I really like your glass work – the colours are really vibrant and I like the geometric shapes.

  7. Erica says:

    Hey Jayne, I think I’d be remiss to not give you the shiny badge for all the glass work. Your various stained glass pieces are so cool, especially the portrait one!

  8. Grace says:

    Hi! I am going to leave you the familiar badge because I saw the picture of your ceramic pot and instantly remembered when I had done similar type pots before. I really like what you did with the different glazes and can see how your style came from that to your glass work

  9. Tia says:

    Hi Hannah! Since you work with glass a lot, I’m going to give you the shiny badge. I find your glass artwork really cool, as I’ve never had a chance to work with something like that, and you’re amazing at it :))

    Impressive! The artwork of the woman is really cool. I could totally see that in a museum.

  12. Vanshika says:

    Hi Hannah! I am going to give you the shiny badge because the glass pieces are all so shiny and pretty to look at. I really enjoyed looking at the variety of your work!

  13. Emily says:

    Hi! I think the colorful and shiny badges because of the different glass pieces as well as the mermaid tail. I thought it was cool how it was separated over the several canvases to make the overall image.

    Hi Hannah! I’m going to leave you with the colorful badge, much like our other peers. The colors in your projects bring it together and really catch the eye. I’m excited to see how you translate your geometric and striking art to the digital world!

    Shiny: I love the metal pieces in your work and it gives me very farm house vibes with the stained glass.

  17. Michelle says:

    Hannah!!! This work is beautiful!!! I heard that working with glass is fairly difficult and requires a lot of practice- which is why I’m giving you the detailed badge! I can’t imagine the time and effort that went into making these they are amazing!

    Hi! I am going to award you the shiny badge! Your glasswork and ceramics are really incredible and shiny! I have done a little of both and I know they require so much carful attention and skill. I even made the same glass checked game board and I remember how hard it was, well done I’m really impressed!

  19. Amanda says:

    inventive – I can’t tell exactly what the shiny metallic material is on the edges of your geometric style sculpture pieces but it looks like it was soldered on and I have never seen that before, it gives it a really fancy look
