AAs a result of us making an effort to actually put the ‘semi’ into semi-retirement (instead of just talking about it), we will not be holding courses/workshops in 2015 and thereafter! The last Bear Bits course will be October 4/5th 2014.

Thank you to everyone who has come over the 14 years that we have been holding them. It has been a pleasure to pass on our skills, techniques and enthusiasm for making bears and wonderful to meet so many people who share the love of the teddy bear but who have diverse interests as well. We hope that our courses have either enabled you to ‘boldly go’ where you might not have done before in terms of your bear making and/or that you’ve added some new friends to your own hug. It has been a lot of fun, we have made many firm friends and for this we are very grateful.
