The Art of the Bear
New Avenue Crew is a collection of artist bearworks designed and handcrafted by Debora Hoffmann. Debora delights in turning a flat piece of mohair or alpaca fabric into a little someone you can hold.

For the love of the fur.
For the love of the faces.
For the love of the teddy bear.
Events
You are invited! See Debora and New Avenue Crew at an upcoming event. In-person shows are a great way to see the bears "in the fur," and you can visit online shows from anywhere. Either way, maybe some furry friends will come home with you!
