Automata

Art in Motion”

Welcome to the heart of the workshop. My automata are more than just wooden sculptures; they are little stories brought to life through simple mechanics. With a turn of a crank, these hand-carved pieces bob, dance, and sway. From rhythmic boats on a wooden sea to playful characters, each piece is designed to bring a moment of wonder and a smile to your desk or mantelpiece.
