In the Refugee Collective Studio, highly-skilled refugee seamstresses receive year-round, fair wage employment. They often have decades of experience sewing for their families before being professionally trained on specialty sewing equipment and industrial machines. Through traditional and newly acquired methods, our team produces our own artisan home goods collection featuring natural dyes from our organic farm, as well as private label items for local production partners and retailers.

Those working in the Studio take pride in their creations and earnings which provide financial support for their families and communities.

We offer specialized training in crafts such as chainstitch embroidery and block printing, alongside education and certification in pantry line work. Our goal is to create a nurturing and inclusive environment where creativity flourishes, helping develop valuable skills and achieve personal and professional growth.
