The Maxi Bear Workshop is designed to be an Intermediate Class for junior bear artists who wish to improve and learn new techniques. This workshop is designed for a class to be held in Melbourne Teddy Bear Store, Bear Essence this October.

However, we have received feedback from our students that they would like to have a similar class in Singapore, hence we hear them and decided to do it last August.
We are pleased to have a total of 5 students, signed up for the class namely, Nicole, Joanne, Su Ling, Jenny and Kelly.

As mentioned, this is an Intermediate Class, the Maxi Bear requires more sewing as there are more pieces on the pattern design. Students gets the experience to sew 2 different coloured fur together to create contrasting colour combination to enhance the appearance of their bear.
One of the highlight of this workshop is learning how to needle sculpted paw and foot pads for the bear. This is not an easy technique, it requires lots of practise and will need years to make a prefect shaped fingers and toes.
In this class we also cover how to embroider a beautiful nose and later how to apply beeswax to make the nose shine.
At the end of the day, all students managed to create their very own unique Maxi Bear. They all looked completely different and that's the beautiful of handmade after all!
