Large sculpture of a Moon Gazing Hare. This exciting sculpture suitable for display in a garden or conservatory is now ready and available to buy. The pictures below show some of the stages of making the clay sculpture. Brian Hollingworth has frequently been asked to make a 'Moon Hare' animal sculpture for the garden and decided to make this sculpture also available in bronze resin. The Moon Hare has been cast by a fine art casting in high quality bronze resin. It can also be commissioned in foundry bronze.
> Symbolism of
the Hare ( Information about the
hare in myth )
In the picture, Brian Hollingworth is working on the clay original, constructing a moon gazing hare sculpture suitable for casting in bronze resin The moon gazing hare has been supported by an internal armature. This enables Brian Hollingworth to work on a larger scale of animal sculpture. The armature inside gives a firm foundation as the weight of the clay is added to the hare sculpture.
The hare sculpture has been gradually built up ; the sculptor has a detailed image of the sculpture he wishes to create. It is slow careful work that will give him the form he desires.
The final surface has to be carefully refined. Brian Hollingworth designs his work carefully for casting. It needs to reflect the quality of the bronze resin cast but at the same time not lose the immediacy of the clay surface.

The finished clay sculpture
The pictures above were taken before the moon gazing hare sculpture was taken to the fine art bronze casting company. The surface texture has been refined to give the 'feel' of the fur of the hare. The anatomy of the hare is suggested in the form and an understanding of the muscular under structure is apparent in the sculpture. This will all be enhanced in the final bronze cast.

The hare sculpture has been cast in a mixture of bronze powder and resin. In the mixture there has been a small addition of copper to highlight the surface in the patination process,
The final patination brings out the quality of the bronze resin sculpture. The sculpture is 18kg heavy and suitable for garden or interior display. It is weatherproof and frost proof
These pictures show the Moon Hare having just been cast in cast in bronze/copper resin.
