Creating unique handmade Artist Bears with care and love x

Hi, my name is Chris and welcome to Poppy’s Bears

I’ve crafted all my life and originally made Bears almost 30 years ago, but with a family and a very busy working life, my makes were limited to gifts for family and friends, special requests, and occasional Craft Fairs. I’m now retired and in a position in my life where I can do what I love - making Artist Bears.

I’m lucky enough to live 100 metres from the Sea, and although I never go in, I love walking along the seafront getting in my 10,000 steps thinking up new Bear designs and ideas.

People often ask why Poppy’s when my name is Chris? – Years ago in my working life someone from the Far East thought my surname was my first name, mispronounced it, and called me Poppy. The nickname stuck until the day I retired. So when thinking of a name for my craft business, Poppy’s was the obvious choice.

Thank you for visiting my shop, I hope you enjoy browsing my Unique Artist Bears, as much as I do making them.
