📍 LOCATION UPDATE:

Due to the weather forecast, this Tatreez Circle (15 May) will now be held indoors at Kolenkitkas [Vrouwengelukhof, 1061 BS Amsterdam]. Just a 5-minute cycle from Erasmuspark, the new venue is a bright indoor space still surrounded by nature. The time remains 14:00 – 17:00.

The KolenkitKas – Amsterdam West

Join us in the beautiful KolenkitKas, a vibrant community greenhouse situated in the heart of Amsterdam West.

Address: Vrouwengelukhof, 1061 BS Amsterdam
Website: kolenkitkas.nl

Why the KolenkitKas?

This beautiful, glass-enclosed space is surrounded by nature, offering a tranquil escape from the city’s pace. Designed for community connection, it is the perfect home for our Tatreez circle. The bright, natural daylight is exactly what we need for detailed embroidery, providing a warm and welcoming space to slow down, create, and connect.

Tip: It is located right behind The Villy, a lovely local cafe where you can pick up a coffee or a treat to bring along to the workshop!
