Meet the Artist - Sally Hare

I have always had a passion for fabrics, sewing, craft and design. Recognising this need for self expression has prompted me to make a career change from the corporate world.

With the advantage of a solid background in marketing, sales and my artistic flair, my new venture Happy Hare successfully caters for a diverse range of clientele.

My creations are colourful, exotic and textured - I call them 'wearable art'. Each piece is unique, original, crafted to perfection and incorporates the use of natural fibres such as silk, cotton and wool.

The 'wearable art' range includes bags, belts, hats, scarves, shawls and whimsical wraps. Customer orders for particular colour toning can be catered for.

This year I have decided to enter my work into competitions, exhibitions and put myself into more workshops to learn more. I love being around like minded artisans.
