Tatreez Circle in the Park - May 2026

Step away from the city’s pace and join our open-air stitching circle in the heart of Amsterdam. These monthly sessions are a space to connect with the rich heritage of Palestinian Tatreez while enjoying the natural beauty of the park.

Whether you are a total beginner or looking to reconnect with your roots, our gatherings focus on the fundamental basics of traditional cross-stitch. Each month, we explore a new theme, stitching the stories of the land into modern keepsakes.

This gathering is your space to:

• Enjoy a relaxed, outdoor setting designed for focus and community connection.

• Learn about (or reconnect with) the rich heritage of Palestinian Tatreez.

• Master the basics of traditional cross-stitching.

• Explore the cultural meanings behind traditional motifs.

• Complete a small project to keep, with options to finish your work as a frame, bookmark, or coaster.
