This ceramic hare would make a lovely gift for someone who appreciates British nature, woodland animals and unique, handmade items.
Once I have made my initial sketch, I carve my design into lino, which I then impress into the soft clay to create the intricate details and texture. I hope to capture a little bit of the animal's beauty through my unique linocut artwork. Each hare is strung with an organza ribbon ready for hanging. Made from an off-white high fired stoneware clay.
My customers often buy one of my hanging ceramics as a Christmas decoration to hang on their tree, however when it comes to packing away the ornaments into boxes, my little birds, hares and foxes often manage to escape... finding a perfect spot to hang out on a door handle or picture hook to be enjoyed all year round!
Once the clay has been rolled out, impressed and cut out, they need to firm up so I can smooth the edges, next they are dried slowly to avoid warping, biscuit fired, glazed, and finally stoneware fired before threading on the organza ribbon. Each firing takes a day and a half, so its a slow making process!
Delivery and Packaging: I charge £1.55 for postage. Every order is wrapped in colourful tissue paper and is tied with a ribbon (a gold ribbon at Christmas time) and has a little tag attatched. I can also add a short gift message for you if you're sending it direct to the recipient. Please get in touch if you are on a tight deadline. I usually dispatch these within a few days of your order.
