Tatreez Workshop

Tatreez is the traditional Palestinian cross-stitch embroidery. For centuries, motifs have been passed from mother to daughter. Patterns stitched into clothing, telling stories of region, family, and place. A cypress tree, a star, a bird, a flower: each carries meaning. It is identity, sewn into fabric. By changing the surface, scale, and method of making, tatreez can become more than decoration; it can become a way to speak about identity, memory, displacement, care, and collective experience.
‍
The workshop is intended as a collective space for making, learning, and experimentation. Participants would be invited to work with Palestinian motifs and create their own tatreez-inspired compositions using 3D-printed stamps. The goal is to make Tatreez easier to approach without making it less meaningful.
