Jamie Herman

Brought up in the midwest, Jamie Herman tried his hand at classical music, archaeology, and organic farming before turning to craft. He trained in fine woodworking and furniture design at the Vermont Woodworking School and has participated in fellowships at the Center for Furniture Craftsmanship and the Peters Valley School of Craft. In 2021, Jamie was awarded the John D. Mineck Furniture Fellowship, and in 2024 he participated in the Windgate Arts Residency Program through the Museum for Art in Wood. His sculptural work often features complicated geometries and precarious balancing acts, while his furniture tends towards a clean aesthetic with carefully considered proportion and design. Jamie is interested in exploring how material culture influences our identities and how participating in craft can change how we think.
