About the Class:
Workshop will take place on Oct. 29th at 2 pm. Location details to follow after purchase. This workshop is ideal for those with stitching skills (i.e,. you've sewn in a button before), or those who know the basics of tatreez and want to take their skill to the next level. There is a 20-30 minute teaching portion in the beginning where brief textile history will be covered, including textiles from the Syrian region and Gaza region in Palestine. There will also be a demo on the mechanics of attaching, embroidering on, and removing waste canvas (the traditional practice of embroidering onto clothing). The rest of the workshop is hands-on. Students will take home their tatreez work on a VELA hijab!
