Rediscover the Power of Making: Reconnect, Create, Thrive

At By Cecil, I'm passionate about the power of making, craft, art, and creativity to reconnect individuals with the world and themselves. As a hand weaver based in North London, I specialise in creating exquisite handwoven scarves, shawls, sleep masks, and relaxation eye pillows using only natural fibres.

Focusing on reconnecting individuals to their creativity through the ancient craft of weaving, I strive to reduce the emptiness of consumerism and facilitate emotional connections through my art. By encouraging the exploration of personal creativity, I aim to contribute to mental health and well-being and foster a sense of reconnection to oneself and the value of textiles.

Join me on this journey of rediscovery and reconnection through the art of weaving.
