My name is Cecilia, and I run this studio from Berlin, Germany.

I’ve been designing and making clothes for over a decade, first in fashion school and for work, then as a form of personal expression and slow fashion practice. My background in fashion design and visual communication shapes everything I create.

I discovered crochet during a particularly stressful period in 2022, and it immediately became one of my main design tools. While I haven't been working with yarn since being born, I have plenty of experience making garments thanks to my pattern-drafting bacground and technical understanding of garment construction. I approach crochet with a designer’s eye: fit, structure, and wearability come first, then the aesthetics.

I'm always experimenting and looking for ways to innovate, find new combinations and create items I haven' yet seen before, but I wish existed. My love for art-deco and early 20th century fashion influences many of my projects. I aim to design projects that look intricate and impressive, but are fun and relaxing to crochet. My two main "rules" for designing are: simple and logical construction, combined with visually complex colorwork.

I love sharing knowledge about crochet, design and making more people fall in love with this craft! With my workshops, I focus on teaching the basics in an enjoyable and approachable way by motivating my students with level appropriate, but cool-looking projects that they can be proud of. I also teach how to follow simple patterns so students can continue to learn independently. No matter how experienced they are, they return home with enthusiasm and a nice project to remember.

I'm able to teach right-handed and left-handed students as well. I'm myself left-handed so I understand the struggle ;)

I'm based in Berlin, Germany and available for teaching small groups, up to 8 people. Do you have a group of people wanting to try crochet?

Lukrezia is a vibe, a character, a time traveler diva, patron of arts and enjoyer of everything eccentric. A mysterious alluring entity, made of stripes, dots and checkers.

Other notable Lukrezias:

• Lucretia the Tumbler was a court jester in the court of Mary I of England.
• "Lucretia My Reflection" is a great song from the band Sisters of Mercy.
• Lukrécia is a sassy black cat from the hungarian cartoon Frakk a macskák réme.

Nevertheless it's good name for a fashion brand.

If you whisper Lukrezia three times in front of a mirror you will be covered in stripes, dots or checkers. Depending on how fast you do it.
