The tatreez circle and workshops

Come join me in celebrating the art of Palestinian embroidery, or tatreez, 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.
