The World Peace Prayer Fountain Sculpture began as potter’s clay – more than four tons – hand-formed over a welded steel armature. When the sculpture was complete, the original clay was allowed to shrink on the armature, breaking into over 800 pieces. Each fragment was fired and mounted so that art lovers, collectors, and peace advocates alike would be able to share the spirit of Kaminsky’s art – a living symbol of the world’s aspiration for peace.
