We created Handcrafted Accessories

We crafted a beautiful collection of handcrafted accessories and items, each piece uniquely designed to reflect the rich cultural heritage and creativity of our participants from Italy and Turkey. These accessories, made with care and attention to detail, showcase the skills learned in our workshops and offer a tangible connection to the traditional crafts. Whether it’s intricate embroidery or finely molded ceramics, each item tells a story of artistry and empowerment.
