welcome to The Salvage Sister

My name is Charis Williams, Im an Artist, Maker & Mentor specialising in metalwork & the reuse of salvaged materials

My ethos has always been
saving planet earth
with creativity & inspiration

how, what & why

Working with a wide range of materials, including various reclaimed woods and non-recyclable plastics.

However, my real passion is metalworking, forging and welding.

I design and fabricate unusual pieces of furniture, homewares and fittings from vehicle parts and scrap metal.

I love industrial style, and things that are made to last!

The foundation of our mission at Salvage Sister is to inspire reuse through thoughtful, evocative design & teach others how to do the same.

Whether you’re looking to shop for handmade homewares, or want to learn to make them yourself, we have something for you.

Do I know you?

You may recognise me from ‘Kings of the Wood’ on Discovery Plus & QuestTV where I made some beautiful wooden homewares including an Oak Ottoman, a wall hung record storage unit with Sapele, a resin rainbow table and hardwood dog bed made for a canine king!

Or ‘Fill Your House for Free, with Kirstie Allsopp, on Channel 4, as your resident expert maker in S1 & 2!

Or maybe from BBC1’s ‘Get the Builders in’, where I used steel angle iron and reclaimed scaffold boards to create beautiful custom shelving and cupboards.

Or could it be from 2011, as the designer/presenter on The New Reclaimers on UKTVhome? The first home renovation TV show of our time to focus on reclamation, reuse & up-cycling.
