Hello, ​my name is Helen Wright and I love creating bears. I love it so much that my kitchen table is usually covered with patterns and bear limbs. To fill in my time during lockdown I started making bears again - after a break of 20 years when I used to make bigger bears. They are all individuals and it is such fun to reveal the character of each wee bear as their face takes shape.
I live in beautiful Dunedin and my bears often have names taken from the street names in the city.
