Whether you're completely new to embroidery or have years of experience, our workshops are designed for everyone. Each session is an opportunity to learn the rich history, cultural significance, and traditional techniques of Palestinian Tatreez embroidery.

We don’t have a fixed location — instead, we’re hosted by different organizations, cultural spaces, and events across various cities. This allows us to bring Tatreez to diverse communities and settings.

If you’d like to organise a workshop with us, we’d love to hear from you! Please contact us.
