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 – 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.

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.

Penny Patch Designs

Based in the beautiful Teme Valley, I create unique handmade cards and pebble pictures using recycled and natural materials. Inspired by my love of the seaside and the countryside around me, each piece is a reflection of nature with simplicity and can be personalised. I use pebbles, driftwood and old scraps of wood, giving them new life.

Every design is unique to me – whether it is a pebble robin sympathy picture sending love at a difficult time or a personalised birthday card with a handmade clay bird on it. I believe in the beauty of repurposing and aim to create meaningful gifts that leave a gentle footprint on the planet.

My items are perfect for any occasion, and they bring a touch of handmade warmth!

Supporting local and eco-friendly practices is at the heart of what I do – because art can be both beautiful and kind to the earth x

Nikki – Bohemian Spirit

Nikki is the creative mind behind Bohemian Spirit, a vibrant collection of handmade resin jewellery inspired by colour, movement, and organic form. A lifelong artist, Nikki has explored various mediums from drawing and painting to mixed media, but it was resin that truly captured her imagination. Since discovering it just over a year ago, she’s been developing her signature petri effect pendants using alcohol inks, creating mesmerising, swirling designs that feel both otherworldly and natural.

Each piece is a unique expression of Nikki’s artistic instinct — no two pendants are ever the same. The process is intuitive, experimental, and full of surprises, making every creation feel like a tiny universe in resin.

Having lived in the Teme Valley for the past three years, Nikki finds constant inspiration in the surrounding landscape and creative community. Her work brings a bold and bohemian energy to the collective at Teme Valley Artisans.

Soap Chef

Michael is the maker behind this range of traditional cold process soaps, created following a lifestyle move to a small farm in the Teme Valley. Inspired by rural living, he began experimenting with olive oil — familiar from cooking — and after much refinement developed a recipe using 80% olive oil. Naturally moisturising and creamy, olive oil creates a gentle soap, although it requires four weeks to cure and harden properly.

Michael scents his soaps using natural essential oils from aromatic plants such as lavender, rose geranium, mint and thyme — fragrances he knows well from growing them himself. Each bar features unique marbling patterns created with mineral colours, making every soap one of a kind.

Inspired by the native wildflower habitats managed on the farm, the wrappers are seeded paper, hand-produced in the UK and embedded with British wildflower seeds — designed to be planted and grown, creating beauty with zero waste.

Jo Keeley Artist

My name is Jo Keeley and I’m a Worcestershire based artist. I mainly paint wildlife. I’m also inspired by the beautiful countryside surrounding Worcestershire. My work is about creating a connection between the viewer and the animals that I love to create. From the original acrylic paintings I then sublimate the imagery onto coasters, tiles and other objects. I work from home which I share with 2 dogs Sidney and Bertie.
