Drawing tops

Drawing Tops

Drawing tops are spinning-tops that use a pen as the spindle enabling the production of wonderfully unpredictable random sketches.

Drawing Tops

The idea is the work of Thomas Forsyth and represents:

“many of the core ideas behind my current work. It is recognisable, un-intimidating, and invites people to interact with objects that can lead to unpredictable results, or an emergent property.

Simply through indulging in the enjoyable process of spinning the top a bi-product is created. Where the pen marks the surface, a beautiful map of the experience and events that have occurred is produced.”
