About Us
Our mission is to preserve, celebrate, and share the art of Tatreez and Levantine Arab embroidery, recognizing their deep historical roots and cultural significance across Palestine, Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, and beyond. Through education and practice, we strive to: 1. Teach the Craft: Offer hands-on learning in traditional embroidery techniques, from Palestinian Tatreez to Jordanian, Syrian, and Lebanese (Shami) styles, ensuring these art forms thrive for future generations. 2. Explore Their Histories: Uncover the stories behind regional patterns, stitches, and motifs each reflecting identity, heritage, and the resilience of communities. 3. Honor Cultural Connections: Celebrate embroidery as both a shared tradition and a unique expression of Levantine cultures, bridging generations and geographies. 4. Foster Community: Create an inclusive space where learners, artisans, and cultural advocates can connect, exchange knowledge, and keep these living traditions alive. 5. By embracing Tatreez and Shami embroidery, we stitch together not just threads, but the voices of history.
