Sculptor, Marjan Wouda, and storyteller, Jacqueline Harris, will celebrate the hare in Lancashire folklore and landscape through an afternoon of shared art and story in Gisburn Forest.
At the foot of Marjan’s 3.6 m. sculpture, Bowland Hare, and around a fire pit in the woods, they will explore the significance of the hare in Lancashire folklore and the Forest of Bowland.
They will tell the story of “The White Dobbie” – a story of ghostly encounters with a spectre that instilled dread in the local community, and his creature companion: a white hare, sharing these tales from their first book in the new “Storylore” series. This event will allow visitors glimpses of the stories, books and sculptures the duo are developing, as a way of bringing back to life our shared heritage.
The creation of the steel sculpture was made possible through generous support from Castle Fine Arts Foundry and Steel Dynamics and is hosted in this location by Forestry England until the end of February.
