Friday 15 May

Erasmuspark – Amsterdam West

Join us for our open-air stitching circle in the beautiful Erasmuspark, one of Amsterdam’s most charming and local green spaces.

(Exact meeting point provided 48 hours prior the workshop)

Why Erasmuspark?

There is something truly special about stitching in the fresh air. Erasmuspark offers a peaceful, scenic escape where the rustle of the trees and the natural light create the perfect environment for focus and creativity. It is a space that invites you to slow down and connect, both with the rich heritage of Tatreez and with the community around you.

Tip: We are located just a few steps away from Terrasmus, where you can grab a coffee, tea, or a snack to enjoy while we stitch.
