Les Petits Maitres
Turning children's drawings from around the world into one‑of‑a‑kind wool creatures.
Les Petits Maitres is a completed project inspired by the boundless imagination of children. Pon invited kids from different places to draw the monsters or creatures living in their imagination, then hand‑crafted each drawing into a three‑dimensional wool character.
Children's drawings carry a rare kind of freedom — asymmetrical eyes, unpredictable colors, and body structures that make no obvious sense yet somehow feel completely right. These are perspectives that are nearly impossible for adults to recreate on their own. The project resulted in five completed pieces, each faithfully preserving the personality and charm of its original drawing, and standing as a gentle dialogue between adult and child through the act of making.
This project has since concluded and is not currently ongoing, but these four pieces remain a favorite chapter in Pon's creative journey.
