Bear Mania Studio Bear Makers Group

We meet on Tuesdays from 10 am to 1 pm.

This is a fun group of chatty bear makers who have a great time over coffee
and biscuits and sometimes even get some sewing done!

It is $60 to join for the year and this entitles you to %5 discount on any purchases
from the Bear Mania Studio (excluding classes and workshops).

Casual members are also welcome and the fee is $7 per attendance but the discount offer does not apply.

'The Teddy Bear Makers' members tend to share help and advice, I am also there to assist, however
membership does not include tuition and these sessions are not classes.


Bear Mania Studio Classes 2009

Now that we run our studio from home, part time, I am able to be fully flexible with classes.

What this means is that I offer small classes and private tuition at a time that suits you. Many of my students are confident with most of their bear making skills but still a little hesitant when it comes to finishing their face and so they like to book into just one class for that (this has a $35 fee).

Beginner Bear classes start at $155 depending on the bear chosen, this fee includes all materials and 3 classes. Intermediate and advanced Bear making classes depend on the cost of materials and complexity of technique instructions etc. these prices are available on request as each bear varies.

You choose the bear for your experience level and we'll let you know the fee for the class,
we can also help you choose the bear most appropriate for you.

Please phone or email me with any questions.

Have fun and have a go!!
