We created Handcrafted Accessories
We crafted a beautiful collection of embroidered pieces, each uniquely designed to reflect the rich cultural heritage and creativity of our participants from Italy and Turkey. These items, made with care and attention to detail, showcase the skills learned in our workshops and offer a tangible connection to traditional embroidery. Each stitch tells a story of artistry, heritage, and empowerment.
