A Treasury of Palestinian Stitches Program with Tatreez and Tea

September 10, 2022 - October 15, 2022

Begins September 10 (Saturdays at 12pm EST)

Inspired by the infamous book by Margarita Skinner, “A Treasury of Stitches”, this program honors the various needle working techniques of historic Palestine beyond the cross-stitch. “A Treasury of Palestinian Stitches” program is a creative independent project, where students participate in a six-part virtual course teaching the traditional stitches practiced by Palestinians for centuries, learning the correct implementation and use of each stitch.

The course series covers 10 traditional stitches, including couching stitch (tahriri and rasheq), satin stitch, habka stitch, sabalah stitch, managel stitch, two types of back-stitch, double buttonhole stitch, buttonhole wheel. All classes will be conducted virtually and will be recorded for those that cannot attend the scheduled Zoom sessions.
