3:00pm – 5:00pm
The Mosaic Rooms, 226 Cromwell Road, London SW5 0SW
Join The Tatreez Collective at The Mosaic Rooms for a beginner-friendly workshop exploring Fallahi tatreez, the cross-stitch embroidery tradition of Palestine.
The session will begin with a short presentation introducing the history and cultural context of Palestinian embroidery, looking at tatreez as a form of visual language, identity and heritage, before moving into the practical part of the workshop.
Using waste canvas, you’ll then learn how to stitch a Palestinian motif directly onto your own clothing. We’ll guide you through the basics of Fallahi stitching, how to position and use waste canvas, and how to continue and finish your embroidery at home.
No previous embroidery experience is needed. All stitching materials are included — simply bring a garment you would like to embroider. Cotton, denim and other non-stretch fabrics work best.
I think this version is much stronger because it makes clear that this is not just a craft class — it includes the cultural and historical grounding behind the embroidery as well.
