Kaz Bears 

A little bit about the Artist......

My name is Karen but most people call me Kaz...Hence the reason why Kaz Bears was the perfect reason to call my little creations.

I have always had a love of art and design. When I left School I started working at Royal Crown Derby painting the Birds and figurines as a Ceramic artist back in 1989, I had been there for 5 years and left 1994 to start a family life.

I started makeing Artist Bears in 2002 part time. I became full time Bear artist in 2016 and thats where I currenty am with the Bears now. 

I create One of a kind Bears all made from Quality Mohair using traditional materials such as wood wool, cotter pin joints and with glass eyes.These are nicely weighted bears with steel shot which makes the bear lovely to hold.

I am known for a very tradtional style bear in looks and design. Mainly the bears are dressed with a simple accessory like a aged looking ribbon but now and again I do love to add a vintage jewellery item or vintage  knitted clothing. I like them to have a slight loved look about them where some may have a distressed worn style to them than others.

These are not intended as a childs toy.
