Made on the Welsh Borders this Raku* finish ceramic work is always popular here at The Teesdale Gallery. Not only is there a nice range of Hares but these are complimented by other characters like pigs, stoats and even dogs. Mostly the work is modelled by artist Brian Andrew and the figures are then moulded and fired by a small team in the workshop. Each piece is unique in it's crackle finish.

*Raku Finish, this describes the crackled finish of the glaze,  a technique developed in Japan in the sixteenth century. Firing the glaze at a very high tempreature and then cooling it quite quickly produces a random and fairly unpredicitable cracked pattern to the glaze.
