Sallie Wakley Sculpting A Hare

Sallie Wakley demonstrates how she goes about making a ceramic sculpture of a Hare, which, will then be Raku-fired (see Mick Morgan video for insight into the Raku process). Although Sallie is a fast worker we would never be able to show the whole process from beginning to end, in such a short time. So we have considerably speeded up the action for your benefit.

That's totally fantastic, I'm very impressed with the realism. How long did the sculpture take all told? (I'd ask if it's for sale too but it's well out of my price range I suspect)

This was filmed over a couple of days, on and off. Modelling is only the first stage though as each sculpture requires firing, glazing and then raku-firing again. the finished article can be seen on Sallie Wakley's archive pages on the Fountain Fine Art website. It's called 'Hare 11' and sold for £400, November 2010.
