Hanmade Willow Studio

My name is Hannah Mathias, and I am the founder of Hanmade Willow Studio. After a demanding career in the tech industry, I turned to willow weaving as a way to heal from burnout and restore balance in my life. Weaving offered me a chance to slow down, reconnect with nature, and engage in a mindful, meditative practice that profoundly improved my well-being. This journey led me to establish Hanmade Willow Studio, located along the River Ely in Peterston-super-Ely, in the picturesque Vale of Glamorgan. My work focuses on creating modern willow designs that capture the calming and grounding essence I discovered through this craft.

Every piece—whether a lampshade, wall art, garden sculpture, or willow fence—is thoughtfully crafted with care and intention to bring tranquility and natural beauty into your home and garden. Using sustainable, locally sourced willow, I strive to create decor that enhances the aesthetic of any space while promoting a sense of mindfulness and wellbeing. My hope is that each creation from Hanmade Willow Studio carries the same sense of calm and connection that I found, offering eco-conscious homeowners a unique, peaceful, and elegant addition to their living environments.
