About this hare sculpture
Hares are incredibly special creatures – they’re full of mystery and magic. Only chance, fleeting encounters in the dim light of mornings and evenings allow us a window into their world.
This brown hare is mesmerised by the moon in all her shining glory, and who can blame them.
Why choose this piece?
Just like hares, our lives are always on the go – zig-zagging our way through life, avoiding the dangers and resting when we can.
We should all take the time to stop and enjoy the wonders of the skies. Maybe on the cloudy nights, little hare reminds us that the stars are always shining whether we can see them or not – and that’s part of the magic of life.

How they're made
Lumps of Clay
All of my sculptures start as lumps of clay.
The critters are created using the pinch pot technique to make sure they're hollow.
There's lots of stages of shaping, refining and smoothing for each individual.
Bisque Firing
When I’m happy with them I carefully load the kiln – which I like to pre-heat for a few hours just to make sure there’s no moisture left in the clay that might cause any explosions.
The temperature will then steadily rise to about 1050°C then left to cool for about 24 hours before I can empty it.
Underglazing
Once cooled they each need to be wiped down to remove any surface salts. Then it's time to add the underglaze colours - each colour needs 3 coats painted on by hand.
Glazing
They’re then left another 24 hours before having a clear glaze applied on top – again another 3 layers.
Glaze Firing
Then once they’re dry, I’ll clear any glaze from underneath to help stop them sticking to the kiln shelf .
I’ll score around their eyes and then it’s back into the kiln for the glaze firing. This time the temperature reaches about 1245°C
