Craftoum Creations is a fiber art studio that utilizes various handcrafting skills like crochet and sewing to make a diverse range of products. Our journey began in Sudan in 2013 where we held many workshops and events. Founded by Mais Abdullah Saleh, a vet with 10 years of experience in crochet, specializing in Amigurumi and
baby toys; and Hala Osman Gaafar, a vet, artist, and cat lover, teaching a range of skills including hats, gloves, baby accessories. Our goal is to emphasize the importance of hobbies and to raise awareness of their benefits and their contributions to daily life. We have conducted multiple workshops with children as well as adults. We have even worked with people of determination at the Cheshire Home for disabled children in Khartoum.
We have collaborated with various institutes like The British Council, The Dutch Embassy, The Japanese Embassy, JICA, The Institute of African and Asian Studies, DAL group,The Zol and Zola Club, Khartoum Cleaning Campaign and their Green Shared Space, and the Sudanese Youth Club. We were involved in various causes such as Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Recycling and various environmental causes, safe swimming practices in the Nile, and promoting Sudanese and Japanese culture.
