TAILOR & CREATIVE LAB
"The intellect always cuts and divides like a pair of scissors. The heart sews things together and unites like a needle. The tailor uses both."
Mata Amritanandamayi
ABOUT THE TAILOR & CREATIVE LAB
Since ANKAA Project started in 2018, we offered creative workshops and tailoring classes.
Until today, our tailoring workshop has become an important pillar of the project and currently we run courses for 4 different levels. Our tailoring courses are project based and combine theoretical and practical knowledge.
Furthermore, we created a screen printing lab where students can learn the basic techniques and where we could create customised designs for our customers. Additionally, soap making workshops have been held in ANKAA where students created beautiful soaps out of olive, castor and coconut oil.

Did you know?
We are not only offering courses and workshops in sewing and handicrafts, but we also create high-quality products from upcycled and/or local materials.
We create:

the beautiful mimycri collection

our own ANKAA designs

and so much more...
We collaborate with mimycri, a Berlin not-for-profit organisation.
Since June 2020, ANKAA is designing, selling and shipping the mimycri by ANKAA bags and backpacks out of Athens.
The designs are hand-made by our experienced tailors using the broken material from boats that once carried refugees.
