Eleven students will be walking the isle on March 28 at Beit Beirut, concluding their 13-course journey at Majal Design School and celebrating their graduation with friends and family.
“This is the first batch of students graduating from our textile and jewelry certificates. It’s been amazing and we are so very proud of them,” Nour Tannir, Majal co-founder and program manager, said.
The graduation ceremony will also include an exhibition, featuring the senior projects of the eleven graduates. It includes statement jewelry collections, handmade fabric art works and surface designs for interior and fashion.
Wassila Taha, one of the graduating textile students, said she feels overwhelmed. “This is the first time I feel that I am graduating from a place I’ve been nurtured and encouraged and where significant effort has been put to get me where I am now.”
The ceremony is set to include Majal partners, local designers, instructors and media in addition to friends and family members of the students. “We can’t wait to celebrate these students and their achievements. We are delighted to see how much these students grew during their tenure at Majal,” Yasmine Dabbous, cofounder and executive manager, said.
