Hare's Fur

Russell Bass is a potter living on the edge of Katoomba in the Blue Mountains. His wife has been dead less than a year and although he has a few close friends he is living a mostly solitary life. Each month he hikes into the valley below his house to collect rock for glazes from a remote creek bed. One autumn morning he finds a chocolate wrapper on the path. His curiosity leads him to a cave where three siblings - two young children and a teenage girl - are camped out hiding from social services and the police. Although they bolt at first Russell slowly gains their trust; and little by little this unlikely group of outsiders begins to form a fragile bond. Hare’s Fur is a story of grief kindness art and the transformation that can grow from the seeds of trust.
