At Alice’s Bear Shop we offer bear making classes to suit your needs, in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere, for people aged 12 and over.
From day-long intensive courses (eight hours approximately) to hourly sessions at your convenience, you’ll learn everything from marking out and cutting the fabric to sewing the final seam. With a maximum of four people per course you’ll receive all the help you need when you need it. All materials are supplied – all you need to bring is yourself.
In the very place where the Alice’s Bear Shop range was first created, you will learn how to make a fully jointed, mohair bear. Basic sewing ability is preferred (running stitch, back stitch, over stitch) or add an extra half an hour to the course for sewing tuition. (Please ask for sewing tuition when booking).
An intensive day-long course costs from £95, a £10 deposit is required when booking and a light lunch together with tea and coffee is provided. You are guaranteed to have your bear finished at the end of the day.
If you find the prospect of a whole day's bearmaking a little daunting, we can tailor your course to suit your needs. Breaking the course down into 2 or sometimes 3 sessions can allow sore fingers to heal! Please call us to arrange your course.
