Artist Statement

We are a micro family business, a Mother and Daughter team who make intricate, original and magical creations! Our ethos is sustainable and imaginative design with a deep passion for nature and the protection of our beautiful planet. Penny has been working for over 40 years as an artist and designer, experimenting with innovative techniques, everything we sell is handmade and completely unique, using recycled materials and found items.

We’re best known for our moving sculptures; flapping birds, galloping horses, swimming whales, etc, lots of which will be on display this year. Take a look at our socials (@pennythomsonworks everywhere!) to get an idea and pop round for a turn yourself!
