Crafts By Tesoro

Hello, I’m Claudia, the person behind Crafts By Tesoro.

​

I live in Peebles, in the Scottish Borders, where I hand-paint every piece you see here. Alongside my full-time work as an Early Years professional, painting gives me time to slow down, be creative and make something with care.

​

Much of my inspiration comes from nature, particularly the colours, shapes and changing beauty of plants and flowers through the seasons. I love taking a simple wooden piece and turning it into something bright, personal and full of character. Every item is painted individually by hand, so no two pieces are ever exactly the same.

​

The name Tesoro has a very special meaning to me. It was a name my Mum always used for me expressing her care and love. In Spanish, tesoro means “treasure” and is often used as a term of affection for someone precious to you.

​

Choosing it as the name of my business felt right because it carries happy memories of my Mum and reflects the care that goes into everything I make. My hope is that each piece becomes a little treasure for someone else – whether it is given as a thoughtful gift, chosen to mark a special occasion or simply enjoyed at home.

Thank you for visiting Crafts By Tesoro. I’m so pleased you’re here
