Welcome to Christiancrafts.org

Apologies for the chaos of this temporary site – please bear with me. I’m redeveloping the site completely – and should have it back online in a few days. Meanwhile please take a look at the images and contact me if you need anything, or just want to ask any questions at all – thanks, Keith

We make bespoke Prayers, Psalms, Verses, Thoughts, wishes and Memorials

Here are a few slates and laser carvings

Looking for a unique or bespoke Christian item? A gift, present or award maybe ? Something made with care? Something that was not mass produced in a Chinese sweatshop but still affordable Christiancrafts.org can help.

Would you like to give something unique that was designed & created with care & pride here in the UK East Midlands? Something you’d be proud to give or receive yourself ? Something they’ll treasure forever?

I design & create unique and beautiful laser cut & etched christian objects. I work in wood, slate, card, and glass and I can also laser etch designs into metals. I design, laser cut and hand finish unique Prayers, Psalms, Verses, Thoughts, Wishes and Memorials in wood, and on Slate hand cut by me.

I offer British quality & workmanship at affordable prices and I can personalise things with names, dates, events, messages etc laser cut or etched into the surface for you – my details are below mail me or call me for a chat about what you’d like.

Here are a few of the crosses I've designed and made, mounted on my custom "invisible" stand on a windowsill

Here are most of the wordings of my crosses - these are white wood we do lots of other wood veneers too - Cherry, Ash, Oak , Beech etc.

Do you recognise the version of the Lord’s prayer that you were taught?

These are the 15 Stations of the Cross custom designed on wall hanging slate.

I forgot to photograph number 2, but I did deliver it!

Why I do it...

Why would someone in a well paid, well respected, corporate job – a management consultant no less – suddenly get the notion to pack it in, quit the rat race and do something creative?

In 2018 I was guided by a higher power to buy an industrial laser machine and learn to design & make things – a genuine leap of faith. I just love what I’m doing these days, and I’m told it shows… 🙂

There is so much more to life than making money – we need contentment and happiness. ChristianCrafts.org is, for me, perfect work-wise. I also have a lovely wife, a smart dog, a nice home and a comfy little campervan and a motorcycle to tinker with – I’m living the dream!

I get to work with creative people who look not in terms of how much time or money something will make or save them, but how that something makes them feel. I sometimes stop and look at things I’ve designed & made and just think WOW! Everyone should feel this.

If you get a moment please take a look at the stuff in the picture galleries (See if you can find the version of the Lord’s prayer you were taught). They are temporary galleries of some of the things that I remembered to photograph before dispatching them. I don’t always remember to do this… If you see something you like and think “I’d like that” , or even personalised with a date or a message added.” Please get in touch.. If you have a moment take a look at my Handytech website or my FaceBook business pages Christiancraftskeith and Handytechkeith.

Bespoke is my middle name (not really it’s Raymond). I think you’ll be very pleasantly surprised at how cost effectively (corporate speak for cheaply…) I can produce quality bespoke items in numbers from one to a thousand. Asking costs nothing , so please reach out.

If there is anything you’ve thought about having made, please get in touch – I may have made it already and just not listed it or shown it (or remembered to photo it…) .

If you have a great idea for something maybe I could make it just for you, or add it to my range – tell me about it. My contact details are shown below click the card or fill in the form and send me an email. I look forward to hearing from you.

The Handytech connection

christiancrafts.org is me Keith Salway, as is handytech.org.

Here in Christiancrafts I talk exclusively about Christian Crosses, prayers, memorials, wishes, thoughts and verses so that visitors to this site don’t need to wade through everything in the gallery on the Handytech site where I make things such as shop signs, house signs, coasters, slate images, business cards and so on…
