Automata and Jewellery by Esther Smith

Esther originally trained as a jeweller but in recent years has extended her skills to include the craft of small scale sculpture and automata.  These tell visual stories from the landscape surrounding her and from tales of long ago.  Her workshop is located in south Cornwall where there is a wealth of inspiration from local wildlife and the goings on of coast and country.  Her upbringing in the wilds of Scotland has also had a strong influence on the aesthetics of her work.  Each piece is crafted entirely by hand and will be entirely unique.  Each piece is crafted entirely by hand and is entirely unique.
