Large Hare Sculpture For Home Or Garden
£325.00
Say hello to Harriet Hare … She is a rather special and intricately detailed large sculpture of a brown Hare. She has been entirely handmade in the far north of Cumbria by Sculptor, Kirsty Armstrong.
At 16” (40cm) to her tallest ear, this almost life-size Hare ornament has been cast in resin and finished with specialist rust and verdigris wax pastes. The finish is protected under a matt lacquer and so this Harriet is suitable for both inside the home or out in the garden*

Our Harriet Hare Sculpture would certainly create a unique focal point in any room or garden. She is a figurative representation of the much loved brown hare, which is native to the British countryside as well as being an ancient Pagan symbol. Harriet reflects the ancient connection between the Hare and the Moon and represents new beginnings and good fortune, fertility, growth, rebirth and abundance, making her an ideal hand fasting, wedding or anniversary gift.
The original Harriet was hand sculpted in wax using traditional sculpting methods by Kirsty Armstrong who has been a sculptor for more than 30 years. Harriet is anatomically correct with Kirsty’s unique stylised fur detail applied over the top. She is being produced as a limited edition of 150 pieces in a choice of four finishes;
1. ’Rusty’ Harriet, in cold-cast iron (metal and resin) with highlights in ‘foundry bronze’ and ‘gold’ metallic waxes. All versions of Harriet have enamelled eyes. (Please note that if this version is lacquered for outside use then the finish is darker).
2.’Moon-lit’ Harriet, in cold-cast pewter (metal and resin) with a silver nitrate effect patina (resembles old silver)
3.’Verdigris’ Harriet, in bronze lacquer over resin with a verdigris patina (resembles weathered bronze)
4. ‘Rust &Verdigris’ Harriet, in cast resin with a wax paste finish under matt lacquer (this listing).
Kirsty uses a moulding and casting company just 30 miles from her studio to produce Harriet, and then she begins the process of bringing her to life. Kirsty polishes, finishes and packs each piece herself by hand…
