For generations, Palestinian women have gathered with their daughters to work collectively on embroidery projects, bonding with one another over a cup of tea. Guided by Wafa Ghnaim, who began her training in embroidery with her mother at age 2, learn the basic Palestinian cross-stitch and how to create a tatreez sampler, using a standard size sheet of Aida cloth fabric. In each session, you will learn a different version of the traditional Pasha’s Tent pattern from el-Khalil/Hebron, a pattern that has dozens of iterations on the traditional Palestinian dress.

Open to students of all skill levels, learn the basics of transferring a pattern to fabric, threading a needle, the use of ombre thread, two methods of cross-stitching, color selection, project planning, and motif repetition. No experience is required.
