“Intro to Tatreez” is an introductory workshop that will teach participants the ins and outs of Tatreez, a traditional form of Palestinian embroidery. Before the workshop, participants will be provided with a set of supplies to purchase, and during the workshop they will receive instruction on how to stitch a Tatreez motif. This workshop is meant for beginners – no stitching experience is needed.

Tala is a Palestinian American Tatreez artist. She began practicing Tatreez as a way to connect to her Palestinian roots. Through finishing Tatreez pieces begun by her maternal relatives in Palestine, Tala brings relics of displacement into the present. She co-organizes local Tatreez circles in her community and recently showcased her art at the Banat al Hara (women of the neighborhood) exhibit for Arab Women in the Arts.
