Handmade Kiln Fired Irish ceramic sculpture framed in 20cm made by me and Professionally Framed (by Victorias Framing in Enniskillen) in a stunning luxury white driftwood style deep box frame (small and Large versions also available in my shop). Perfect for a gift or to display in your home.   

I love working with clay molding it with my hands and making miniature sculptures to build a mini ocean coral reef so small you can hold it in your hands.  No 2 pieces are the same, every piece is made up of different nature elements

My ceramics are lovingly sculpted from clay, hand painted, glazed and then kiln fired here in Ireland for 24 hours at 1100 degrees.   

I use an exclusive colour palette so you can collect my pieces and display together, they will all coordinate and compliment each other.

Real pottery fired in a kiln will last forever, it will not deteriorate or take in moisture like air dry clay.  Ceramic colours melt into glass in the kiln which gives an effect that cant be replicated with any other medium.

My pieces are made in Ireland at Ballyshannon, County Donegal, I can make custom commissions but please be aware these can take 10 days to complete due to the lengthly process (described below)

Life of a Sculpture

• Sculpture base is made from clay and allowed to slowly part dry for 12 hours
• Details are made, sculpted and moulded 
• Details are addded to the base using a score and slip method
• The piece is allowed to dry thoroughly for 12-48 hours
• Sculpture is now hand painted using under glazes
• Once colours are dry it is glazed and allowed to dry again
• Sculpture is kiln fired for 12-24 hours at 1100 degrees
• Sculpture is left to cool in kiln for 24 hours back to room temperature (the piece would shatter with sudden temperature change if removed from kiln early)
• Sculpture is mounted on a coordinating mount board and sent to framers to be framed
