Phoenix Monthly Tatreez Circle
Join us for our monthly tatreez circle! Location is in Tempe (less than 15 minutes west of ICC) and the exact address will be provided after signing up.
Bring a current project to work on while spending time with tatreez practitioners of all levels. Cookies and tea or coffee will also be provided. ✨
Hosted by two local Palestinian tatreez artists, Michelle and Farah, these monthly tatreez circles are designed to be a healing space to connect with Palestinian culture, engage in meaningful conversations, and support each other through the ups and downs of life - much like it was originally practiced. Joining a tatreez circle is a chance to slow down, be in community together, and break away from productivity culture.
This is a supportive environment where beginners are welcome and more experienced stitchers are usually happy to answer simple questions, but this is not a workshop and we will not be actively teaching tatreez. You are also welcome to bring other needlepoint projects or similar traditional crafts to work on. If you are interested in instructional workshops, both Michelle and Farah sporadically offer them, please contact us directly or visit our websites/social media
This event is free to attend if you are bringing your own project and supplies, but contributions are appreciated.
We will have thread, aida cloth, reference books, and needles available for you to use if you need. If you don't have your own supplies and can't afford it, please type in "$0" - no questions asked. We don't want money to be a barrier to being part of our local tatreez community. We will also have kits and other supplies for purchase on the day.
Follow Farah (a.k.a. Art Colored Glasses) and Michelle (a.k.a. Om Nacho) on Instagram to stay up to date on future workshops and tatreez circles!
