Artisans and Fashion Minority Alliance Empower the Bronx with Sustainable Fashion Workshop

Artisans and Fashion Minority Alliance Empower the Bronx with Sustainable Fashion Workshop

In an exciting collaboration, Artisans partnered with the Fashion Minority Alliance (FMA) to host a workshop at the Bronx House Community Center. The workshop centered around Artisans D.I.Y kits, which are designed to teach the fundamentals of leather crafting while highlighting the importance of sustainability.

Throughout the day, students were guided by FMA's passionate and expert instructors, Kim, Jabhari, and Destiny. They demonstrated how to transform leather scraps into beautiful, functional accessories, using Artisans kits. The hands-on approach allowed participants to engage directly with the materials and the process, offering a deep dive into the practical aspects of sustainable fashion.

The initiative aimed not only to educate but also to inspire. By the end of the workshop, each student had added a new skill to their repertoire, leaving with a handmade leather piece and a greater appreciation for sustainable practices. This event highlighted how creative projects can foster both personal development and environmental responsibility.

We are immensely proud to have played a role in this transformative experience and look forward to more opportunities to promote craftsmanship in the community.
