upcoming Workshops, TALKs, and Tatreez circles
Tatreez Circle at 421 is a gathering where makers come together in community to embroider and connect through the shared practice of Palestinian embroidery. Whether you have recently begun learning the craft or have been practicing for years, the circle offers dedicated time and space to focus on your personal projects in a supportive and collaborative environment. Participants are asked to bring their own embroidery projects and supplies. Basic knowledge of tatreez is required.

Come join me in celebrating the art of Palestinian embroidery on The Tatreez Circle on Instagram! Follow @thetatreezcircle to find out more about artists and designers who incorporate tatreez in their work, when and where my upcoming workshops and Tatreez Circles will be held, and what is happening in the tatreez community.
In my Palestinian embroidery workshops, you will discover the regional Palestinian embroidered dress styles from before 1948 and how they are transformed in form and meaning after 1948. I introduce contemporary artists who reinterpret tatreez today, offering a fresh lens through which to understand this dynamic art form. After a guided demonstration in traditional Palestinian cross-stitch technique, you’ll stitch a motif of your own. By the end of the workshop, you’ll leave with a deeper appreciation of the stories behind the motifs, the history and culture they stem from, and a new skill to continue developing.
