About Us
About Us
From Craft to Legacy
Aggie Artisan Woodworks is the premium studio line of our long-established woodworking brand, Artful Craftsmead.
Both names come from the same hands, the same workshop, and the same deep respect for traditional craftsmanship — but they serve different experiences.
Artful Craftsmead is where our journey began: a place for sharing our craft with a wide audience and creating meaningful, personalised wooden pieces for everyday gifting.
Aggie Artisan Woodworks was created for something more refined.
This is our atelier collection — a carefully curated selection of heirloom-quality pieces, designed for customers who value subtle luxury, exceptional finishing and timeless design.

One Workshop. One Craft. Two Expressions.
Every item you see here is made in our small family workshop in the UK, using the same core principles that have guided our work from the very beginning:
ethically sourced solid wood
traditional woodworking techniques
meticulous attention to detail
Many of our pieces are carved, turned, engraved, stained to order, wax-finished and hand-polished, slowly and deliberately — because true quality cannot be rushed.
The difference lies not in who makes the products, but in how they are presented, refined and curated.

Designed for a More Considered Gift
Aggie Artisan Woodworks focuses on:
fewer designs, perfected rather than multiplied
deeper personalisation
elevated finishes and understated aesthetics
pieces intended to be kept, not replaced
These are objects made to mark moments — weddings, memorials, milestones, family traditions — and to be passed on, not discarded.
---
Transparency, Not Imitation
You may recognise some designs from Artful Craftsmead. That is intentional and honest.
We believe craftsmanship should grow, not fragment. Rather than creating something entirely separate, we chose to evolve our work into a luxury line, maintaining transparency about its origins while refining the experience for customers seeking something truly special.
There is no duplication — only progression.
---
Made Slowly. Chosen Carefully.
Aggie Artisan Woodworks is not about trends or mass production.
It is about restraint, material honesty and the quiet confidence of well-made things.
If you are here, you are likely someone who understands that luxury is not loud — it is thoughtful, lasting and personal.
We are honoured to make something for you.
⭐ ABOUT US – PREMIUM VERSION FOR YOUR SHOPIFY
Handcrafted Wooden Keepsakes Made with Heart, Skill and Purpose
Welcome to Aggie Artisan Woodworks — a small UK workshop where every piece is crafted slowly, intentionally and with genuine care.
Our work is rooted in a simple belief:
Beautiful things should be made to last — and to be cherished.
We specialise in handcrafted keepsake boxes, memorial pieces, wedding gifts, children’s memory boxes, wooden décor and functional items for home and office. Every product is shaped from solid wood, engraved with meaning and finished entirely by hand.

Our Story
I’m Aggie, the maker behind each piece you see in our shop.
What began as a love for natural wood and personalised craftsmanship has grown into a full creative workshop that I run together with my husband.
We handcraft every product from start to finish —
cutting, assembling, carving, CNC and router work, engraving, turning, staining, waxing and hand-polishing every detail.
There are no factories, no mass production, no shortcuts.
Just the two of us, the scent of freshly cut timber, and the joy of creating meaningful pieces for people around the world.

Made to Be Treasured
Solid wood has a soul.
Its grain, its warmth, its imperfections — all of it tells a story.
When we craft a keepsake box or an urn, we know that we’re not making “just an item”.
We’re making a piece that will hold memories, carry love, honour someone’s story, or celebrate a moment that truly matters.
That’s why every product is:
carved with precision
engraved with personal meaning
stained in your chosen colour
wax-finished and hand-polished
made one piece at a time
We aim for heirloom quality — the kind of craftsmanship that feels special the moment you hold it.
---
Personalisation with Purpose
Most of our work is fully personalised.
You choose the design, engraving, names, dates, messages or symbols.
We transform your ideas into something real, timeless and beautifully tactile.
Nothing leaves our workshop until it is perfect.
---
Sustainably Crafted
We work with solid pine, oak and premium plywood, sourcing wood responsibly and using every off-cut whenever possible.
Even the smallest pieces often become bookmarks or small décor — ensuring nothing goes to waste.
Handmade should also mean thoughtful, ethical and environmentally conscious.

From Our Workshop to Your Home
We ship from the UK to customers across the world, carefully packaging each order so it arrives safely and beautifully presented.
Whether you’re choosing a gift, creating a keepsake or honouring a loved one —
we’re here to help you find the perfect piece.
Thank you for supporting our small family workshop.
It means more than you know.
