Temima Crafts make wooden boxes which are beautiful and tactile on the outside and useful and fun on the inside.

Ray and Kathy Sylvester established Temima Crafts in 1995 after taking early retirement from teaching. Over the years they have designed, made and sold a range of products, many combining wood and textiles.

Since 2003 Temima Crafts has become associated with increasingly intricate multi level band saw cut wooden boxes.  These are now sold as “Bloomin’ Clever Boxes”.



Ray and one of his Bloomin’ Clever Boxes appeared, in Autumn 2012, on the BBC2 programme “Paul Martin’s Hand Made Revolution”.

Ray and Kathy sell their work at quality craft shows up and down the country. See our venues page for more details.
