Lisa Slater Automata

I make automata primarily from wood creating handcrafted wet timber pieces and bespoke commissions. My work reflects a humorous insight for the application of movement in automaton that are beautifully made with an added dimension. Each automaton is unique responding with the materials to produce an original outcome. I am influenced by historical craft and folk art objects, my love of animals and things that give humour.
