Puls Ceramics -
Danish ceramist Merete Rasmussen forms the pieces slowly in her studio, allowing each section to dry until it’s sturdy enough to hold the weight of the next piece. The technique, which she developed in order to make the abstract structures she had in her head, allows her to build up sculptures that look like one continuous piece.

Intricately Carved Books - Nino Orlandi Takes to Wood to Relay Literary Sculptures
Having students create a box and then a figure to fit inside the box. Great and fun lesson in figures. Artist: Barbara Scavotto-Earley
Les bustes grimaçants de douleur de Franz Xaver Messerschmidt
The artist is Franz Xaver Messerschmidt, that was actually born in 1736, so that is one of the things that are pretty interesting with this art work; the sculptures look so modern, but they are about 250 years old. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franz_Xaver_Messerschmidt

Sasha Bakaric, "Inspiration comes from microscopic images of cells & microorganisms as basis of life. I am intrigued by dichotomy between enormous beauty of these images and fears or repulsiveness that people often have when faced with viruses or bacteria. I love the idea of questioning our relationship with the world inside of us. In the same way as microorganism are multiplying and spreading, so are my pieces. I find great excitement in making yet another similar but totally unique piece."
