Join us for ‘Stitch-In for Palestine’, a workshop series where you’ll learn to embroider meaningful motifs.
Tatreez, the centuries-old craft of Palestinian embroidery, is a testament to the richness of Palestinian identity and culture. It began with intricate cross-stitch motifs adorning the linen dresses of Palestinian women and has since expanded to embellish garments, household items, and wall pieces.
This art form, passed down through generations, values slow, intentional stitching over fast-paced, fleeting designs. Our workshop fosters a warm, welcoming community, offering a space to engage in a mindful and healing activity, anchored in the quiet rhythm of needle, thread, and cloth.
Participants will begin by stitching a beginner-friendly motif—a grave or a flower—to honor the departed souls of Palestine. These individual pieces will be gathered to form a public, communal artwork: a shared space of mourning and reflection.
This is a beginner friendly workshop; no prior embroidery experience is required!
