More Than Needle and Thread:
Life Skills and Creative Design
Our Textile Workshop is a production and design space that provides our students with "life skills" they will use throughout their lives, beyond fashion.
Our education begins with basic self-care skills such as tying shoelaces, sewing buttons/snaps, and mending tears. In this process, we apply the "Peer Education" model; the student who knows teaches the one who doesn't, and the class progresses together. Thus, not only hand skills but also social solidarity and patience develop.
Our students who master the basics; meet sewing machines, renew their old clothes with upcycling projects, and bring their own fashion designs to life starting from silhouette drawings.
Our students offer the fabric bags, pillows, and accessories they design for sale at the school market. This process teaches them the joy of production, budget management, and social responsibility awareness.
Workshop Goals
This workshop aims to develop our children's fine motor skills, enable them to become independent individuals who can meet their own needs, and combine their aesthetic perspective with technical skill.
Peer Education and Solidarity
With our system where "those who know teach those who don't"; communication between students strengthens, a culture of mutual aid forms, and problem-solving abilities (fixing incorrect stitches, etc.) develop through teamwork.
Design and Upcycling
Their creativity increases with sewing machine use, silhouette drawing, and moodboard preparation; they gain sustainability and recycling awareness by transforming old clothes into new products.
