✨Three handcrafted wooden robots have just arrived in the gallery. ✨
Made from carefully selected timbers, including holly, maple, cherry and smoked oak, they’re designed to let the natural colour and grain of the wood define the details rather than using paint. Each piece is carefully crafted from many individually shaped components, combining traditional woodworking with a playful sense of design.
One robot takes inspiration from David Bowie’s Major Tom, while another - the Macbeth Robot - has two faces reflecting the conflicted nature of the tragic king in Shakespeare’s play. Accompanying them is also a loyal wooden dog, standing watch.
Cute and playful, they’re small sculptural pieces that instantly add personality to a space. Now available to view in the gallery.
