The place their children were born, home to their favourite pub, cafe, park or football team, the place they live within the hills in the Peak District. Oli has named the Bear Sky – after the Richard Hawley album/Sheffield musical ‘Standing at Sky’s edge’.

Bears of Sheffield: #32 Plants & Bees

#32 of 61 big bear sculptures, this one was decorated by Jat Cover and is located on Paternoster Row. Jay’s Plants & Bees Bear design is based on spring time, around the time when he was actually making the Bear. Near to his studio there was a house where part of the garden was being converted into an allotment, and so he was simply responding to what was around him at the time.

Bears of Sheffield: #33 Colours by Charlie 2

#33 of 61 big bear sculptures, this one was decorated by Marcus Method and is located in Sheaf Square in front of Sheffield Railway Station. Marcus’s Bear is inspired by the bright and colourful imagination that children have. Marcus’s own nephew has been treated by Sheffield Children’s Hospital before which inspired him to gather various children’s opinions on the project. Gathering all his paints, he asked his nephew to pick his favourite colours and this formulated the basis of the colour palette, Marcus then applied these in a fun way which allow visitors to see something new each time they look at the Bear.
