Join us and make your own Tatreez piece, with Palestinian Tatreez maker Shirin Husseini.

Explore the iconic art of Palestinian embroidery. You will learn basic cross-stitch techniques to make a Tatreez Xmas tree decoration, or a heritage Tatreez gift such as a button pin, keychain, or a small thing to frame.

The workshop is suitable for all: beginners and those who want to create a new joyful thing. We will guide you at every step. We provide  the fabric, threads, needles and all the materials.

We start with an introduction about the history and types of Tatreez. Hear about its roots, styles, symbols, and how it has developed as a technique, fashion language and as an identity signifier. We will delve into patterns, colours and significance with images and patterns.

You will go home with a peaceful mind and a beautiful self-made art of Palestinian beauty.
