T
he Professional Crafters Guild was created in 2011 to provide people who run their own craft businesses some recognition for all of their hard work. Our members are located all over the world although the largest proportion are from the UK where we are based. Our members create their products by hand and most also create and maintain their own websites and run their own marketing campaigns. A full directory of our members can be found on our website. A selection of members have contributed to this publication and details of their products and businesses can be found on the following pages. Help us to support small businesses!

Silver Sensations Hello I'm Lynne and I make individual and designer jewellery at affordable prices to suit everyone. Most importantly, my handmade jewellery has high quality Sterling Silver, genuine semi precious gems including unusual shapes, freshwater pearls & genuine Swarovski Pearls and Crystals. I do only make unique and extremely limited edition pieces, so it is highly unlikely that you will ever meet someone wearing exactly the same piece. Have you ever seen a bracelet or necklace you like, or even a pair of earrings, only to find that you don't like the colour or shape and sometimes even the price? I have and I know how frustrating it can be. Which is why I also create bespoke handmade pieces of jewellery which are tailor made especially for you. As I believe these are your designs, I will never re-create that item exactly, unless it is a simple string of semi precious stones or pearls. I will also never publish any of the images I send to you.
