Slow & Steady

Handcrafted Recycled Metal Snail Sculpture

Handcrafted from reclaimed and recycled metal — giving new life to industrial materials, meaning no two are ever the same.

He’s not in a hurry. And honestly, good for him.

Slow & Steady is a handcrafted metal sculpture made from reclaimed materials, hand-formed and finished by hand. A rich chestnut shell sits atop a golden-green body, with two coiled spring antennae reaching upward and four sturdy little feet planted firmly on the ground. There’s something deeply satisfying about this piece — it’s full of character, a little bit funny, and quietly wise. A reminder that steady progress beats frantic rushing every time.

Perfect on a windowsill, a bookshelf, a desk, or tucked into a conservatory corner. Suitable for indoor or sheltered outdoor display.

Work with your hands, heal your mind.
