"Creating Connections, Crafting Wellness & Promoting Muslims Art & Culture.”
About us
Patient, dedicated Arts & Crafts directors/tutors .
We are a dynamic duo of sisters in faith, originally from France, who have found immense joy in the world of art and crafts. As mothers with a background in working with children, we've combined our passions and expertise to create something truly special. Our vision is to establish inclusive Art & Crafts clubs for women and children, where we celebrate creativity while promoting well-being. With a focus on Muslims values and heritage, we aim to foster awareness and appreciation for Muslims cultures through artistic expression. Our clubs welcome both Muslims and non-Muslims alike, creating a space where everyone can come together to explore, learn, and grow.
We initially launched the community interest company under the name 'The Arty-Crafty Muslim Club,' but later expanded its inclusivity to all individuals. In response to non-Muslims expressing interest in learning more about Muslim art, culture, and artists, we renamed it 'The Arty-Crafty Crescent Club.' We are thrilled and excited about this opportunity to share our passion with a wider audience!
