About Our Handmade Catholic Items
Christian Artisan Design
We value quality and creativity.
All of our items are made by hand in the tradition of Christian artisan design.
Handmade Originals
Each of our items is a handmade original. It has the artisan’s personal touch. We pay attention to the details that will make your prayer items ones you will cherish. We build them to last through the seasons of life.
Prayer
When items are well-made, they inspire prayer and they free the heart and mind to pray more deeply. We believe in the value of prayer because it is our connection with God.

A beautifully photographed sky by Donald Tong inspired the website’s colour scheme. Cropped portions of it are the background for the footer Bible verse. He shared it as a free download on pexels.com.
Raphael painted The Sistine Madonna circa (1513-1514). We made circular cut-outs from the original image.
