Meet the Bear Mania artistsMany schools and businesses will want to paint their bears in-house. Others will welcome the opportunity to work with professional artisits - so we are asking local artists to join in the festivities. Bears will be made out of GRP - fibreglass and the first ones will be available at the launch on 25th January. We'll send you more info about that event nearer the time, but artisits will be able to paint/decorate the Bear in the warehouse - which has heating lighting and a cafe behind it. Our first artists
