The Bear

The Grantchester Pottery set up by artists Phil Root and Giles Round have created a unique design for their Bear utilising one of their signature patterns. The composition of the design is comprised of black parallel lines infilled with bright coloured brush strokes.

This combination is a reference to the work of the Bloomsbury Group and the hatched paintings of Jasper Johns which provided inspiration for their Bear.

The Sponsor
Knight Frank
Knight Frank is the leading independent property consultant in the UK, offering agency and professional advice across Commercial, Residential and Rural sectors. Established in 1896, Knight Frank now comprises a global network of some 524 offices in 60 Territories. It is vital to Knight Frank that they not only operate commercially, working with new and existing occupiers, developers and investors within the Sheffield City Region, but that they engage on a socially responsibly level too. Not only are they helping to invest in the building of the future for Sheffield, but they are supporting the fantastic work of Sheffield Children’s Hospital, through the funding of the transformed Cancer and Leukaemia Ward. By sponsoring a Bear, they hope that it will help to raise the profile of Sheffield to people outside the region through their national network of contacts.
