Art Changes Lives

Designs using fashion textiles and modern needle art are hand sewn by Syrian refugee guests in the USA, Turkey, Idlib and beyond. Your contributions and purchase directly support Syrian women in America by providing an income, independence, and happiness all around. Our Staten Island, New York and Menlo Park, California workshops gather both American volunteers and Syrians to create Syrian heirloom worthy folk art craft items.
