History

In the heart of a quiet town, there exists a dusty little shop, a hidden gem known to few but treasured by those who do. The shop is the birthplace of “Foundlings,” and is the domain of a bright eyed and ingenious man named Jasper Hawthorn.

Jasper, a tall figure was not your average craftsman. He had once been a well-respected administrator in the big city, but the repetitive nature of routine life left him yearning for something more. One moonlit night, guided by a dream, he packed his bags and set off to find his true calling. That journey led him to this little town, where time seemed to dance to its own slow rhythm.

His shop is a wonderland of mechanical marvels, each piece a unique fusion of art and machinery. Jasper spends his days crafting these curious creations, which he fondly calls his “Foundlings.” But it was not just the crafting that was magical; it was the sourcing of his materials that added an extra layer of enchantment to his work.

Jasper is known to wander through forgotten barns, old markets, and abandoned warehouses, places where the whispers of history still lingered. His eyes, sharp and keen, would spot the hidden potential in what others deemed worthless. A rusted gear, a bent spoon, or a broken clock – in these discarded items, Jasper saw the soul of his creations.

Once, in a old barn on the outskirts of town, Jasper found a distressed weathervane, its copper tinged with verdigris. To any other, it was junk, but to Jasper, it is treasure. He transformed it into a majestic bird, its wings now gracefully arched in eternal flight.

Jasper’s creations are not just objects; they are stories woven from metal and memory. Each robot has its own whimsical tale. A small robot with a light bulb head was named “Idea,” born from a collection of vintage bulbs Jasper had chanced upon in an antique market. Another, a charming cat-like figure made from old kitchen utensils, was christened “Whiskers.”

If the townsfolk saw Jasper, he was a figure hunched over his workbench, his hands moving with the precision and care of a poet. His shop became a place of wonder for children and adults alike, a place where imagination melded with reality, and the past was given a new lease on life.

As for Jasper, he finds joy in every piece he creates, his heart beats in sync with the mechanical hearts of his NouveauBots. In his dusty little shop, among the cobwebs and the clang of metal, Jasper Hawthorn is not just a craftsman; he is a creator of dreams, a weaver of whimsical tales, and a guardian of forgotten things.
