Simon Tredinnick-Lost the Plot Creations - Open Studios

I make unusual clocks and automata from objects that catch my eye...always different, exciting and totally unique!

Every day items that we either throw away, give to the charity shop or put into our recycling bin can be used for something more exciting. I love looking at the shelves full of random glassware at the charity shop, or peering into the neighbours recycling bin and imagining how I could turn some items into a visual feast! Offcuts of wood from a local joinery shop and chunks of locally felled timber are used in my work.

My work primarily revolves around creating unique timepieces fashioned from the materials described above, but occasionally I will be tempted to make small items of automata. I have also made larger kinetic clocks and have exhibited such an item at The MAD Museum in Stratford upon Avon.

Commissions are always welcome and I would be happy to discuss any particular ideas you may have in mind and bringing them to fruition.
