The Schloss Adventure


Introducing Tim Schloss, craftsman & owner of Schloss.

Tim’s journey with timber began at an early age.  He discovered the delight of bringing the life back into wood when sanding up an old rough piece found lying around the farm.  Years later, the delight turned into an apprenticeship, in Cabinet Making (Fine Furniture). 
Back in 2006, some neighbourhood boys asked Tim to make some wooden Lord of the Rings swords, and hence, the toy craftsman was born! 

2012 marked another new chapter when Schloss took over “Good Ol’ Toys” from Len & Lynden McCarthy, expanding our range to include Surprise Puzzles and the wonderful Castle on a Hill!
In January 2020, Len & Lynden decided it was time to retire from making Artree Creations.  We are now be making the Hopping Kangaroos & Season Trees as well as our regular items.
​
Schloss Toys attends a number of markets and festivals in many locations throughout the year. Regular events

We are located in North East Victoria and often attend Boutique handmade markets such as Bright. Check our Facebook status for updates. At many of the events that we attend we offer our Sword workshops, where children (or the young at heart!) can finish off a sword selected from our range of pine or hardwood swords or axes. You can also find our products at a number of shops and galleries throughout Australia.
