Tatreez at the Powerhouse Museum with Gina

🌿 Tatreez & DIY Bookmark Workshop — Stitching What Can’t Be Erased

📍 Powerhouse Museum, Sydney

It’s been two years since we’ve been witnessing the daily horrors in Gaza.
Now, more than ever, it feels vital to hold onto what cannot be destroyed — our culture, stories, and art.

Join us for a hands-on Tatreez & DIY Bookmark Workshop, where Palestinian tradition meets creative expression. In this session, you’ll learn the ancient art of Tatreez (Palestinian embroidery) and stitch your very own bookmark — a symbol of resilience, memory, and love.

No experience? No problem.
This workshop is perfect for beginners and anyone who values art, culture, and handmade craft. You’ll learn authentic Palestinian stitches, discover the stories behind them, and leave with a meaningful piece made entirely by you.

✨ What’s Included

✅ Introduction to the history and meaning of Tatreez
✅ Step-by-step guidance to create your embroidered bookmark
✅ A warm, welcoming space to connect with culture and community

🎨 You’ll Receive a Complete Embroidery Kit

🧵 Zipper pouch bag
🧵 Two needles
🧵 Thread spools
🧵 Aida fabric
🧵 A DIY bookmark base to personalise with your Tatreez design

💡 What to Bring

If you wear glasses for close-up work, please bring them — embroidery involves fine stitches.

💔 In Solidarity with Gaza

No food will be served at this event. Instead, part of the tickets will be donated to PANZMA, supporting urgent medical aid for Gaza.

🎟️ Limited Spots Available

We’re keeping the groups small to ensure a personal and hands-on experience.
