Esther makes small sculptures and automata using patinated copper and brass with reclaimed woods and tin. 

Storytelling is key to her work as is a love of the natural world. She seeks to capture small, precious moments and reveal the fun and pleasure in them.

Esther gained a degree from Birmingham School of Jewellery and began automata making on moving to Cornwall. Her work is regularly exhibited throughout the Cornwall Crafts Association.
