My winning piece took several weeks to create, change, dry, add to, dry again until I was finished "adding" more detail. Finally, after being fired I had to come up with the perfect glazing technique and combo. I was very pleased on how this project came out.
Mind2Hands Creations is proud to present *Anchor Octo-pied*, the 2025 Winner of the Southport Maritime Show, a captivating ceramic sculpture that captures the playful intelligence of one of nature’s most fascinating creatures. This piece uniquely depicts a clever octopus securing safety on a lost, beached anchor while a bold fiddler crab raises a challenge, embodying the artist Kristine Koval’s dedication to blending coastal themes with intricate storytelling in her handcrafted works.
