Kiln shot of one the spikey 'pollens' for Pollen Hotspot in my Dublin studio. The ceramic sculpture was made using my own cranked paper clay body. The piece is inspired by microscopic pollen grains - measured in nanometers these tiny grains are perhaps natures greatest sculptures. www.ceramicforms.com

Kiln shot of one the spikey ‘pollens’ in my Dublin studio. Award winning ceramic outdoor water sculpture by Michelle Maher – Pollen Hotspot. The pollen were hand sculpted in my own grogged paper clay body and high fired in an electric kiln to 1260°C (Cone 8).The piece is inspired by microscopic pollen grains – measured in nanometers these tiny grains are perhaps natures greatest sculptures. www.ceramicforms.com
