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.
