Lily Way is an Artist, Interior Stylist and Creative Tutor based in London.
Her work is continually inspired by nature… from the soothing sounds of a singing bird, the transformation of colour that each season brings, or the steady rhythm of nature that reminds us to slow down…
Lily’s work explores the notions of slowness and connection, and is created to bring moments of calm, quiet and thoughtful contemplation. Her work incorporates weaving, natural dyeing, stitching and creative writing, and embraces the meditative nature of each practice.
