Simpson Patterns deliver first of many Bears

We are honoured to have been selected to work with The Children's Hospital Charity on this project alongside fellow Sheffield artist David Maynes to bring his bear to life. The process has been challenging from scanning the bear in the Botanical Gardens to working out how to make the pattern and mould using CNC and CAD. The team have yet to find a project that Simpson Patterns Ltd could not use its wide ranging manufacturing skills to complete.

Working on this project has been a team effort. We are hoping it will be a resounding success for The Children's Hospital Charity. We’re looking forward to seeing the results of our work and joint collaboration installed around Sheffield decorated by a number of artists.

Every penny raised will support The Children’s Hospital Charity’s £2.75m appeal to transform the Cancer and Leukaemia ward at Sheffield Children’s Hospital. One of twenty principle treatment centres in the UK, it treats children from babies through to 19-year-olds from South Yorkshire, Lincolnshire and Derbyshire and as far as south as Northampton. https://lnkd.in/gyfkhe9 #BearsofSheffield
