About Laird
Steampunk is a subgenre of science fiction and speculative fiction that combines elements of Victorian-era technology with futuristic or fantastical elements. The term “steampunk” was coined in the 1980s as a reference to the works of science fiction authors such as Jules Verne and H.G. Wells, who imagined futuristic technologies powered by steam.
Steampunk often incorporates Victorian-era fashion and design elements, such as corsets, top hats, and pocket watches. It also often features steam-powered machinery, such as airships and steam-powered robots. The aesthetic of steampunk is characterized by a mix of old and new, with a focus on the industrial and mechanical.
Steampunk has gained a significant following in recent years, with a thriving community of fans who are passionate about the genre. This community often gathers at conventions and events where they can share their love of all things steampunk.
In addition to being a popular subgenre of science fiction, steampunk has also inspired a wide range of creative works, including literature, film, television, music, and art.
Dear Lover (of Art),
I should like to take this opportunity to thank you for being sympathetic to the art I produce and assure you I am very much appreciative of your support.
I also take this moment to inform you of the purpose of what you may be considering to acquire.
- Lairdware is an art sculpture
- Lairdware is a unique collector’s item.
- Lairdware is a handmade ornamental art piece
- Lairdware is NOT a toy
- Lairdware is NOT to be abused
- Lairdware does NOT serve a purpose
Lairdware should NOT be situated within reach of small children or wandering animals. Lairdware should be placed where you can admire it’s beauty without danger of it being disturbed or needlessly fondled.
There is absolutely no purpose to Lairdware other than as a desirable object.
Lairdware was not made to do things, it was simply created to be displayed and admired as an art piece. Anything it does when you acquire it is an added bonus and is merely an addition to it’s beauty. There is no guarantee that it will continue to do what it does, if it does anything at all.
If it stops doing what it does, it cannot be repaired easily as it is a unique creation. There are no replaceable parts should you drop it, do things to it, or damage it. It is simply a work of art.
Keep it safe and it will last for centuries.
Laird xx

Steampunk sculptures are works of art that combine elements of Victorian-era technology with futuristic or fantastical elements, in line with the aesthetic of the steampunk genre. These sculptures often feature steam-powered machinery, such as airships and steam-powered robots, and incorporate Victorian-era fashion and design elements, such as corsets, top hats, and pocket watches.
Steampunk sculptures can be made using a variety of materials, including metal, wood, plastic, and found objects. Many steampunk sculptors incorporate recycled materials into their work, giving their sculptures a unique and industrial feel.
In addition to being displayed at events, steampunk sculptures can also be found in galleries and private collections. The popularity of the steampunk genre has led to a growing market for steampunk-inspired art, including sculptures.
Steampunk sculptures are a unique and creative way for artists to express their love for the genre and for fans to celebrate their passion for steampunk. Whether as functional pieces of art or as decorative items, steampunk sculptures add a touch of whimsy and imagination to any setting.
Unique HandMade Art
Lairdware is made mainly from recycled, repurposed, reused, and upcycled materials whenever possible.
RECYCLING
Recycling is the process of converting waste materials and objects into new materials and objects. It reduces energy use, air pollution (from incineration) and water pollution (from landfill).
REPURPOSING
Repurposing is to use something as something else, usually for a purpose unintended by the original manufacturer. Repurposing is often done using items usually considered to be junk or rubbish
REUSING
Reuse is the action or practice of using an item, whether for its original purpose or to fulfill a different function. The tradition of reusing salvaged objects (objet trouvé) is often used in art
UPCYCLING
Upcycling, also known as creative reuse, is the process of transforming useless or unwanted products into new products perceived to be of greater quality, such as artistic value or environmental value.
