There are many courses to chose from organised in three main tracks:
Fashion Design and Styling
Patternmaking and Production
Workshops
We are offering short courses and workshops in Fashion Design, led by Yvonne Njau. Yvonne is a Tanzanian Fashion Designer studying in IFA Paris, France.
These workshops will allow anyone of any age (above the age of 15 years) to develop a passion for fashion, and actually learn how to create pieces themselves. We aim to structure it so that there is something to learn for beginners as well as advanced students.
