Upper Penville,
Commonwealth of Dominica
Cecilia Making Craft (C.M.C) is a craft business owned by Artisan Cecilia Joseph George from Penville, in the north of Dominica. I specialize in making mats, decorative cups, baskets and hats using a local straw called “screw pine”. I also craft crochet items such as shoulder bags dolls in various colours and sizes. Recently, I have also mastered the art of making local, healthy, coconut oil.
My interest in craft started at a very young age at a time when my mother sent me to learn craft- making at the home of an older lady in the village. I continued learning the skill as I got older and then decided to specialize creatively with the “screw-pine straw”, at home. My small business continued to grow and I diversified a bit with crochet items in order to increase my sales.
I sell my craft from my home as well as at our Roseau Market as well as craft fairs which take place on the island.
