Penny Thomson Works

Magical Moving Miniatures

We are a micro family business, a Mother and two-Daughter team who make intricate and original magical moving miniatures! Our ethos is sustainable, imaginative and innovative 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, inspiring her three wonderful children to pursue their passions and, in the process, employing her daughters Briony and Maud. Briony is handling the marketing and admin tasks while Maud assists in the workshop and dispatch. With more time to experiment with new materials and methods, Penny’s work is flourishing into a frenzy of mechanical magic.

Over the past few years our work has grown in exposure, reaching viral status on several occasions that have changed everything for us. Ever since then we’ve been working on turning out our stunning works as fast as possible, without losing the signature flare of Penny’s own hand. Everything we sell, from start to finish, is handmade and completely unique.

We are dedicated to using recycled, reused and repurposed materials - you wouldn’t believe how our treasures started out! (as trash...)
