So - Just what is the

Sue Rock Originals Everyone

Domestic Violence Survivors Empowerment Program

Its an amazing four month program of textile empowerment for survivors awaiting permanent housing.

Women will be trained to create items which will replace the textile items they left behind (Apparel or Home Decor). We have created a tight core wardrobe or home decor collection which can be completed by a beginner, training an individual in all the textile arts within four months. When the woman is ready to start her new life, whe has everything she needs from her own hands.

Outreach for this program will include the three major domestic violence organizations in New York and the Family Justice Center.

Our beautiful 1200 square foot studio contains the sewing machines, knitting machines, looms and tools to teach and nurture the textile arts skills in women who have made the exciting first steps towards a new life. Our 20 x 20 storage facility is filled to the brim with fabric, trim and notions to provide women with an exhaustive selection to choose from.

We love teaching and working with teachers in the needlearts. We have developed a four month twice a week training program which ensures that these people have the self sufficiency skills all our grandparents had , but in a way that is contemporary and by using the multitude of textile resources that are discarded weekly from individuals, the garment and interior design industries.

It's Green Manufacturing in the Finest Way - by uplifting others!
