Every year I try and go to Summer School to either learn a new craft or to improve on one. One of the earlier ones I went to was on 'moving toys' (automata) with Robert Race taking the class. It was fascinating to learn the effects of lead weights that swing to make parts move, or to turn a handle to make something move. I made one of two birds that look at each other, then when you lift it they look away, then look back when you put it down - the big bird looking rather aggressively at the little one.
