tHe zOZie cLAsS...


Last term Kim and I were toying with the idea of offering a class that was that little bit different, and in passing we just happened to mention it to Linda Benson.  Linda's ears pricked and she highly recommended the Zozie workshops taught by her sister, the ever talented and internationally renowned, Susie McMahon... 


We visited  Susie's website and  looked at the little Zozie's on line and yes they were very very sweet but would they appeal to bear people???   Well why not schedule a class and see??   ...and the rest is history!!


Our first ever Zozie class was a complete sucess and has paved the way for many more future classes as people who missed out this time, or weren't quite sure, have seen the amazing results and want a zozie of their very own!!


Now here are some of the photos from the workshop... a couple of Zozie's did manage to run away before I got my camera out,... I think they must be a little camera shy!!!

Susie will be returning in January to run a couple more workshops... but book in early to avoid disappointment...

We're all packed up for Woodend!!!

It has been a very busy week with Linda Benson and Susie McMahon visiting from Tasmania teaching us with their amazing talent and skills. It has been a fun week... Thank you so much!

We have been busy preparing for the Woodend show and after a long day have packed everything up into the car ready for our early start tomorrow.

Josey can't make it with us tomorrow as planned as she has fallen ill... we will miss her. Get better soon Josey xxx

We will post some photos of the workshops next week when everything settles down.

Make sure you come and say hello if you can make it to Woodend

After a  long absence, it is with much pleasure and anticipation that we will once again be trading at the Woodend Show...

Our preparations are well under way... and we will be bringing an array of new and exciting things to tempt you with!!!  Here is a little sneak peak at some of the kits we have been preparing...

The cutest lil' kitten "Mittens" only just released and exclusive to Bear Essence:

Everyone needs a little piggy like this one...

and last but not least, the little pink duckling in a selection of colours, but my favourite is pink of course...

If you are visiting Woodend and would like us to bring something for you... please phone ahead and we will have it all packed and ready for you to pick up from the show...

We are so looking forward to catching up with you there...
