The adventures of Cedric the Bear are an unusual collaboration between a writer, an illustrator and a craft maker.
Golders Green author Lucia Wilson writes the stories, illustrator Anne Bowes supplies the beautiful drawings, but it was designer-maker Katie Eggington who first created the woven cloth bear.
She featured in the 2012 BBC programme Paul Martin’s Handmade Revolution and Cedric was one of the winning designs - proudly displayed in the V&A Museum shop.
