Tatreez - The Art of Embroidery- A Three-Day Workshop with Fleur De Vie

Discover Palestinian Tatreez in a three-day embroidery workshop with Fleur De Vie. Learn traditional stitches and create your own designs.

In Palestine, embroidery is more than decoration. Known as Tatreez, it is a language of memory, identity, and belonging. For generations, Palestinian women have passed down stories through needle and thread, weaving symbols of their villages, landscapes, and heritage into intricate patterns. Each stitch carries a piece of history, preserving a cultural tradition that continues to connect Palestinians to their roots.

Join us at Casa Palestina for a three-day hands-on embroidery workshop led by Fleur De Vie (@fleurdevieartisanat).

Explore the art of hand embroidery by transforming a design of your choice into a unique embroidered piece. Experiment with colours, shapes, and patterns while learning essential stitching techniques and discovering how to bring your ideas to life through needle and thread.

The workshop will also introduce techniques for embroidering directly onto clothing, allowing you to personalise your garments and give them new life.

Inspired by the spirit of Tatreez, this workshop is an invitation to slow down, create with your hands, and connect with the rich tradition of embroidery as a form of storytelling, cultural expression, and preservation.
