Pottery

There were a few pottery pieces but most were hard to photograph, as they were under glass. This one (by Matchera Sammtha (?), 12th grade) was my favorite.

This Dutch rabbit uses its coat to create the illusion of a floating pair of scissors as camoflauge. I was not fooled. Wait ... are those scissors? I've been looking for those ...


Brown rabbit.

This rabbit has a nice non-scissors coat. Also the extra fold underneath his chin makes him look like a young, stately Abe Lincoln. "At what point then is the approach of danger to be expected? I answer, if it ever reach us, it must spring up amongst us. It cannot come from a broad." -- Lincoln's Broads Address, 1932
