Lunch options:
You are welcome to bring your own lunch to eat in the conservatory. Tea and coffee will be provided throughout the day.
Alternatively, there is a café adjacent to the conservatory.
If this is your first time with Jacqueline you will be invited to make Nico. Nico is made using multidirectional mohair, therefore suitable for beginners. You should be able to complete your bear in 2 days. However, should you not Jacqueline will have demonstrated the process in full.
If you have been to a previous bear making workshop with Jacqueline you will be invited to make Roxy or Bonny. Please email Jacqueline with your preference.
Suitable fo Adults
Due to the ratinee (multi directional mohair) this workshop is suitable for all levels from complete beginners to those more experienced bear makers. We do recommend some basic sewing skills.
Please note that due to some materials Nico is a collector bear, not a toy.
