In this engaging paper weaving class, you will learn how to create a tatreez-inspired pattern during the 90-minute workshop. The session, conducted via Zoom, offers a slow and creative activity that is open to all.
Alleviate any fears about experience or complexity by assuring you that this workshop is suitable for beginners. Whether you have never tried weaving before or are simply keen to explore a new craft, you are warmly welcomed.
  • Basic concepts of weaving
  • How to create a tatreez-inspired paper piece
  • A new way to connect with Palestinian folk art
Throughout the class, you will work with simple materials that are not expensive or hard to find. Most of the necessary items are likely already in your home or easy to obtain without any hassle.
The transformative aspect of this workshop lies in the opportunity to delve into an ancient Palestinian art form and create your own unique piece. By the end of the session, you will not only have a beautiful creation but also a newfound appreciation for weaving and folk art.
Knowledge required
None!
What to bring
  • Four A5 sheets of paper – minimum 200gsm. (Prefer larger? One A3 cut into four pieces works just as well. Or two A4 sheets, each cut in half.)
  • A few sheets of coloured paper – also minimum 200gsm.
  • UHU glue stick – the reliable one.
  • A cutting pad – or any surface you don't mind scoring, as long as it protects what's underneath.
  • A razor cutter – make sure it's sharp.
  • A ruler – 20cm or longer.
  • A pencil.

I'm an Iraqi-Palestinian-Jordanian jewelry designer and the founder of Asherah Jewellery, where I create handmade beaded pieces that honor and celebrate Palestinian Tatreez. Three years ago, I found myself facing an excruciatingly stressful period in my life—including what felt like a premature mid-life crisis—and I turned to bead weaving as a coping mechanism. Then came the light bulb moment: what if I could incorporate a craft form that resonated deeply with my identity into my bead weaving? I tested the concept, found it worked beautifully, and Asherah Jewellery was born.
What I love most about teaching workshops is that they always end up teaching me something, too. Every session brings a mix of skill levels, questions, and conversations—some participants come to reconnect with culture, others just want to try something creative with their hands. I've come to appreciate how no two people ever stitch the same pattern in quite the same way, and how those quiet moments of connection remind me that making is never just about the final piece. Teaching forces me to slow down, explain things clearly, and creates space for the kind of casual, meaningful conversation that feeds my soul.
