Have you seen our metalwork Hare bouncing around Newcastle-under-Lyme?
This spectacular piece of metalwork is proudly placed within the centre of a Newcastle-under-Lyme roundabout. Sitting at 2 metres high, it showcases the armature of the Hare and highlights the importance of the local wildlife.
The Hare is another part of some local commissions by Newcastle Borough Council, including The Trout, Buzzard and The Honey Bee. The sculpture, made by apprentices, Liam and Luke, with guidance from Artworks manager Phil Brown.
The sculpture is made from 7,500 recycled pieces of metal which creates the patchwork effect. It has also been galvanized to protect it from the elements.
The team used large pieces of a printed out drawing provided by Andy Edwards, this was then used to help create the initial structure of the hare, followed by using sheet metal to form the finished design.
It took the team approximately three months to complete the project.
