Reimagining in Miniatures: A Workshop with Jill Orlov

Former architect turned sculptor, creates captivating miniature scenes and vignettes to explore and unpack some of society's most complex issues such as alienation, control, and judicial injustice. Jill utilizes traditionally “heavy-duty” techniques such as welding steel and soldering brass and silver while also repurposing highly curated vintage objects into whimsical and beautifully delicate scenes. Jill’s work has been featured in multiple gallery and museum exhibitions as well as winning the City of Baltimore Mayor’s Individual Artist Award (now called the Independent Artist Award) and the 2023-2024 Municipal Art Society of Baltimore City Travel Artist Prize.

During this 3-hour workshop, participants will reimagine found objects with Jill’s assistance to create their own bespoke miniature bookshelf. Participants are encouraged to bring color images of items from their past or current lives that are meaningful to them to recreate in miniature.
