Description

We’re excited to say that artist Loulou Cousin has designed us four new mini automata kits.
Each pack contains parts to make a running character and one of her trademark quirky collage style figures. There are a variety of collage pieces to customise your character.

After you have made the 2 designs you can use the box template included to make endless funny characters.

This kit contains:

  • 2 boxes
  • 2 lengths of 18-gauge wire
  • 4.5mm split pins/brads
  • A5 300gsm craft card with printed character
  • Plain A5 craft card
  • A5 collage sheet
  • Instruction Booklet – includes links to How-To Videos
  • Box template for additional projects

You will also need:

  • A pair of long nose pliers that can also cut wire
  • A glue stick
  • Sticky tape
  • a pencil eraser
  • scissors
  • Something to pierce a hole in card (eg. sharp compass or bradawl)

Loulou Cousin is a fantastic artist and makes lots of fun cardboard automata. She is also a facilitator on our Automata Tinkering Global Workshops. Read an interview with Loulou here or see more of her work on instagram.

Our mission is to promote engineering and creativity through workshops, exhibitions and automata kits.

As a Community Interest Company all profits go toward this valuable work.
