Lawrence Designs

Hi, I'm Jess—the smiley face behind Lawrence Designs 😊
What began as a uni project in 2013 under “Jess Evans Designs” soon blossomed into a passion for crafting heartfelt cards and paper gifts. After meeting my now-husband Craig in 2016, I found the confidence to take my creations to more events and markets. In 2022, we tied the knot and Lawrence Designs was born the following January—a fresh name to match this new chapter.

2024 brought incredible growth as we stepped into bigger markets and embraced exciting opportunities. And 2025? It’s been magical—our little girl Lawrence joined the team (though she mostly supervises with cuddles and giggles).

Every product I design is crafted with care, joy, and a sprinkle of real-life love. Thanks for being part of our journey—there’s so much more to come! ❤️

Chrissmithceramics

Chris Smith – chrissmithceramics
Honest forms. Earthy textures. Made in Herefordshire.

Chris Smith’s journey with clay began in 2000 under the guidance of the late Deborah McCabe RA, who inspired his early exploration of ceramics at studios in Marlborough and Devizes. Life led him to Herefordshire in 2005, where he took a creative pause to restore a derelict barn near Ludlow—an experience that deepened his appreciation for hands-on craft and rustic materiality.

In 2015, Chris returned to the wheel, carving out time at Loudwater Studios to reconnect with the medium. By 2020, that quiet reconnection had bloomed into something more permanent: a dedicated studio and kiln in the village of Dilwyn.

Chris now works primarily with Craft Crank clay—a material known for its tactile, honey-toned finish and earthy strength. His pieces are slab built or moulded, allowing texture and form to speak for themselves. Each new glaze reveal from the kiln brings a fresh sense of discovery.

With a love for the rugged beauty of clay and a commitment to simple, soulful craftsmanship, Chris creates functional and decorative ceramics that bring warmth to everyday spaces.

TJ Crafts and Gifts

In 2022, what began as a relaxing hobby—decoupaging thoughtful gifts for family and friends—quickly blossomed into a creative adventure. With the house filling up fast, my daughter nudged me toward a local craft fair. The response? Pure joy—lovely comments, supportive smiles, and brisk sales that encouraged me to keep going.

Now trading as TJ Crafts and Gifts, I continue to share my handmade creations at fairs and events across the region. I’m passionate about recycling and reusing, breathing new life into empty jars, bottles, slate, glass, and wood. Each item is transformed using beautiful rice paper prints, with most designs available across a wide range of homewares and gifts.

Everything I make carries a story—crafted with care, imagination, and a love for turning the everyday into something truly special.

MaLuNa Silver

Welcome to MaLuNa Silver—I'm Nicky, designer, maker, and the heart behind the brand. What began as a passion project, creating jewellery for myself and loved ones, has grown into a thriving small business rooted in love and creativity. The name MaLuNa is a tribute to our three children—Matt, Luke, and Natalie—who continue to inspire me every day.

My journey into silversmithing started when the kids were young, learning traditional techniques through evening classes and slowly shaping my own distinct style. Today, every piece I create is handcrafted in my home-based workshop in the beautiful Herefordshire countryside.

I work mainly with 100% recycled sterling silver, often adding a hint of 9ct gold, and I pour care and precision into each detail. Whether it's a ready-made piece or a bespoke design, my aim is simple: to make jewellery I truly love to wear—and hope you will too.
