25 children and youngster (age 12-17 years old from Eritrea, Syria and Afghanistan  participated at our Fashion- workshop at the asylum seekers center in Rotterdam. Four artists and experienced workshop trainers, who work professionally with Fashion in their own artistic practice, did teach the kids how to develop a concept from an idea to a final piece of clothing, fabric or both. The  workshop was split into 5 stages, idea forming, sketching & mood-boards, preparing stencils, outlines and patterns to the final paint and, drawings on T-shirts.

During the last stage one of our artists did  an introduction in making masks. That had not only the function to stimulate creativity, but also the protect the children’s privacy for taking pictures wearing their final masterpiece.
