Women’s Tatreez Workshop

Please join us for a night of tatreez and tea! The Mecca Center is proud to host Badan Collective for a tatreez workshop, showcasing the traditional art of Palestinian embroidery.

ABOUT THE CLASS:
This is a beginner’s workshop ideal for those with little to no tatreez experience. There is a 30 minute teaching portion in the beginning where brief Palestinian history is covered, followed by a demo on the mechanics of cross-stitching. The rest of the workshop is hands-on. Students will take home their finished piece.

The Mecca Center Banquet Hall
Women and Girls (18 and up) $30/person

ABOUT BADAN:
Badan is a creative design house and educational space that equips Palestinians of the diaspora with the access, tools, and knowledge necessary to practice the tradition of tatreez. With every stitch, we mobilize a collective movement, for ourselves and future generations.
