Mercy Hare and her little mouse, we started thinking about the fable of the lion and the mouse: Mercy brings it's reward and there so no being so small that it cannot help the greater [good].

WhoMe, covered in mud is professing their innocence even while standing the mud puddle eating the missing chocolate cookie- their hand are clean - they promise ;-)

This is for all the people who are grazing right out the fridge leftovers: turkey legs, spoonfuls of gravy, pies with a spoon, fingers of whipped cream.

Hares in progress.

For 40 years I did studio sales the weekend after Thanksgiving, this year the studio is closed the public, but I am still working. I can't tell you how many 3 quart casserole dishes or how many mugs I made during the decades as a production potter. Now, in my relative retirement, I have found a new voice in sculpture. This collection of, quickly multiplying, hares represents my summer and fall work. I needed a break from the angst and trauma of the Warrior Women for a few months before we re-launch in 2025 with a re-print of the book and solo exhibitions.

Hares will be available to the public after December 7th, the sale of these funny beasts will fund the Warrior Women project in 2025 and 2026. Please reach out for a studio visit and the opportunity to purchase your own hare (and there still some of the standard production pottery work available if you wish to expand your decorative pottery collection).

Cousins! The Hare Cousins have gathered for the annual feast, they see each other once a year for the obligatory meal, but its after the dishes are washed and they break into the liquor cabinet that they finally start to connect.

Turkey (on the stump with ears up, too much caffeine, red eye flight this morning from the West Coast)
Lizzie (RBF, she has too many kits)
Clara (needs hearing aids, won't admit it)
Emily (the kind one that glues everyone together)

Hoppy Thanksgiving from our Hare-y family to yours

Winter Wabbit - Her name is Willa, sweet and shy is peeks out of one eye from behind the last of greens in the garden

Downward facing rabbit, Lizzie is waking up and stretching. She is stealing herself to face the day as a mother rabbit to her four kits - they are already calling “Mom!” and she hasn’t had her first cup of coffee.

Story Time: Whippet and Tourmaline.
Tourmaline has retired from his Kentucky Derby jockey days, but hasn't lost his love of the sport. Now a days, Tourmaline rides Whippet is figure eight patterns around the vegetable garden and backyard chimney, they are matched pair, carb loading, hot tubbing, icing sore muscles and even dreaming with peddling legs each night. They are hoping (hopping) to be a part of the post-professional amateur hose racing league in the Spring of 2025.
We are selling hares to finance the Warrior Women book reprint. Pre-order copies of the book and learn about opportunities to buy a hare for your home in out GoFundMe.

We are gearing up again! There will be three Warrior Women exhibitions in the next 18 months - three solo shows and associated events and talk and panels (oh, my!)

We have some needs and are asking for your help: The book at 150+ color pages will be reprinted to accompany these shows. This is an expense that we had hoped to share with the venues, but funding did not pan out as expected. So we are looking to our friends and fans and loved ones to help, if you saw the show in the last 5 years and said, "This needs to go big, how can I help?" This is the answer to your question - you can pre-order the new edition of the book, order an extra copy for your friends, and come to an auction of new work at our home on December 7th. ---> please see the GoFundMe for more details.

The Warrior Women are hitting the road. We have three confirmed shows in th… Alice Woodruff needs your support for Support Warrior Women: New Book Edition
