Join artists Hannah Atallah and Kenya Miles for a hands-on workshop where you will explore the intersection of natural dyeing and traditional Palestinian embroidery, known as tatreez.
In this immersive session, participants will:
Naturally dye their own embroidery floss using madder, with materials provided by BLJ
Learn about the history and cultural significance of tatreez
Stitch a motif to take home, using traditional techniques and personal expression
Each participant will leave with an extra skein of madder-dyed floss, tools, their motif from class, and the foundational skills to continue their tatreez journey beyond the workshop. No prior experience is necessary—just curiosity and a love for textiles, culture, and community!
