Crock and roll: Old mugs and plates donated to create giant mosaic

Everything from damaged dishes to tedious tea-sets or chipped cups or magnificent mugs will all feature in a massive piece of wall-art planned for Waterford

Sean Corcoran of The Art Hand is working on a 45 feet wide environmental awareness mosaic to be installed in Dungarvan

Prepare to be bowled over by a new mosaic about to be installed in Waterford. Thousands of bowls, cups, plates and mugs have been donated to the permanent art project being designed to raise environmental awareness.

The creator of this massive work of art is environmental artist Sean Corcoran who may be known to many already for his giant sand art drawings. He says there was an overwhelming response to a call-out for the crockery for this unique project.
