WHERE OUR STORY STARTED
CeltiCraft was founded in February of 2012.
Before the era of CeltiCraft, we had many small business ventures, exploring many creative avenues and working on various craft projects.
In 2006 we started our first business called Lifeless Creations, where we made alternative and gothic clothing and chain accessories. In 2008 we then began the next adventure: Fehu Uruz, where we created Fantasy & Celtic jewellery, accessories, wooden homeware, headdresses and sculptures. In 2010 we began introducing Chainmaille and leather into our work. Through these ventures we found our niche and the passion for our crafts was ever expanding. It was in 2012 that we finally decided to rebrand as CeltiCraft Jewellery & Armour. As CeltiCraft grew, so did our craft skills and knowledge. Our passion for art drives us to pursue our goals and keep expanding our brand.
GREETINGS FROM THE DRAGON DEN
My name is Cheri, I am the owner & artist behind CeltiCraft. Each item is personally handcrafted by me with utmost attention to detail, love and creativity. My skills are self-taught through many years of experience, patience, trial and error, and experimenting with different mediums and tools.
I have always been obsessed with fantasy, anime, gaming, dragons and alternative attire. Growing up in South Africa, it was difficult to acquire unique and alternative items locally, which lead me to start producing my own jewellery and creations. I saw the demand and lack of such items locally, which inspired me to start selling my wares to the public. I felt that everyone should be given the opportunity and freedom to express themselves and have their own unique items crafted locally. I am passionate about art and hope to inspire others through my work.
