Rob Ives was born in Harrogate
in the UK in 1962. After 10 years as a classroom
teacher Rob began designing models made from cardboard.
At a mathematics conference he was asked by a publisher,
who saw one of his models, if he could create of
book of models for them. The result was called Paper
Locksmith, a collection of working locks to cut
out and make.
The publisher asked Rob if he could write them a
second book, the result was called Paper Automata
is still in print and has been printed in a number
of languages. At around this time Rob tried producing
his own models, the first of these being Surfin'
the Web and Mexican Peck.
Over the years he has created more models and is
now working full time as a designer. His website
www.flying-pig.co.uk
has many visitors everyday and, he often visits
schools and teachers courses to talk about design
technology.
Rob lives in Cumbria with his wife Pauline and two
children Martha and Elliot. |
