Jo Nevill Jo Bears United Kingdom 475 Items Listed     Most of my bears have hand sculpted porcelain faces -I sculp a face using a modelling compound - a plaster mold is then made and porcelain is poured into the mold to form a cast. The cast is then cleaned and resculpted and fired to a temperature of 1200 degrees .Several more lower temperature firings are done to obtain the colours and delicate details to match the gorgeous German mohairs used to create the bodies. I also makes the tradition bears using just mohair and a range of old loved out of the attic style bears. All my bears come from a smoke free home and come with a signed detail swing tag and either an embroidered Jo Bears on the foot or a label stitched into the back seam. These bears are for collectors and not suitable for children. All are completely original designs and pattern made by me . I have been featured in several magazines including Teddy Bear International -Teddy Bear Times and Teddy Bear Scene. I also have had the honour of designing two bears for Deans artist showcase.------ I do a lay-away service up to three or four months depending on the price of the bear.If payments fall through all previous payments are none refundable.
