RECENT PROJECT
Lucy Jean Thomson was selected by Clan Cancer Support to design and decorate a 2m tall fibreglass hare.
Pictish Hare is inspired by the endurance which hares show in living in the challenging Aberdeenshire environment and the way the Picts, who were native to northern Scotland in Roman times, revered creatures by integrating them into stone carvings.
Pictish Hare is one of 40 hares created for The Big Hop trail, a Clan Cancer Support event. The construction company, Bancon Group, sponsored Lucy and you can see the Pictish Hare, on display in Scott Skinner Square, Banchory.
The Pictish Hare, will be auctioned to raise money for the 2023 Clan Cancer Support Charity on the 18th of September 2023.
