Join members of the Canada Palestine Cultural Association to learn the Palestinian heritage art form, Tatreez.

Palestinian embroidery, Tatreez, is a cornerstone of the Palestinian heritage, which its splendor stands out in the Palestinian cultural dresses, Thobes. As a female led art, Tatreez is a method of self-expression, communication and representation of womanhood.

The practice of Tatreez originated in Palestine 3000 years ago. A unique form of embroidery that brings together colored threads in various patterns to create traditional motifs. Motifs are area specific, and are the language of distinction between different parts, villages and cities of Palestine.

Those interested can take a kit home to complete and contribute to the larger Threads of Diaspoa project.

Registration is required as limited spots are available.
