For over 20 years, I have been designing and making wooden automata in my workshop near Cambridge, England. Each piece is created entirely in-house, combining traditional hand craftsmanship with modern machining techniques where they enhance precision and quality.

My work is inspired by movement, character, and storytelling. Some pieces are larger, narrative works, while others—often featuring birds—capture a moment or gesture in its simplest, most expressive form. Every design is carefully developed through months of prototyping, ensuring that each mechanism runs smoothly, reliably, and with a sense of life.

I make my automata in small batches, allowing me to maintain a consistently high standard while giving each piece the care and attention it deserves. The result is work that feels both finely made and personal.

These are objects made to be enjoyed—thoughtful, distinctive pieces that make memorable gifts as well as lasting additions to a collection. Whether chosen to mark a special occasion or simply to bring delight, each automaton is created to be treasured and appreciated for many years to come.
