Artistry as Ministry

I had purchased products as gifts from Smallwoods long before I knew it was a Christian company. I purchased home-goods from them merely because I was impressed by the quality of their products. Smallwoods is a company that creates custom frames, wood signs, and unique photo cutouts. They are passionate about creating beautiful, inspiring signage to adorn the walls of homes. They also sell dishes, towels, and everything you could think of for a beautiful table-scape. More importantly, the vision for the smallwoods products flows out of an incredible story.

John Smallwoods, the founder of this company, grew up in an unsafe home, born into a family stuck in cycles of addiction. Living in home of neglect rather then love, John became determined to do something meaningful and beautiful with his life. When he was young, he started Smallwoods. Throughout growing this business, he faced many challenges–from financial setbacks to fires that destroyed machinery and products, he persisted, and, through it all, Smallwoods continued to value people over products.  Established in Texas, Smallwoods helps people preserve their memories in beautiful ways and to cultivate homes that are full of love and warmth. Smallwoods is passionate about caring for their employees holistically and about creating excellent products in every way they can.
