Courses
In 2009 I transfered Holdingham Bears back to a specially converted workroom at my home in Sleaford and as soon as I have my diary for shows for 2010 sorted my courses will be returning!
As my workshop is quite small these will take place in my dining room at home and so numbers will be restricted to 2 or 3 people depending on the course. However I often run courses for only 1 or 2 on a different day - so why not organise a day course for yourself and a friend! Prices vary from £75 to £180 depending on course, size of bear produced and mohair used.
All courses are with a booking fee of £25 the remainder payable 4 weeks before the date of the course.
I run different courses on a variety of subjects:-
- Basically Bears Day (£75)- a beginners bear making day - a full day course by the end of which you will either have completed 'Sam' or will have nearly finished him/her and will possess the skills to finish him/her at home. Sam is approx 10 inches tall and you will be given a choice of 4 mohairs prior on payment of the final invoice. You will also have the option of purchasing clothing kits to make later at home
- Double Head Joints - how to make a bear with a double jointed neck
- Altering a Pattern - the first step to designing your own bear - how to adapt a pattern to make changes to the bear's style and shape
- Dressed Bears - a 2 day course to make a bear complete with clothes
