Below is glimpse from the last tatreez workshop done in August. Dana has been teaching tatreez in the Sacramento area for over a year, sharing about the beauty of the tradition. Beyond Sacramento, she has connected with people worldwide through her Instagram project #TatreezYourKeffiyeh, guiding participants in embroidering their keffiyehs. Through her beginner kits, many have also discovered how to tatreez at their own pace and convenience, making tatreez as accessible as possible for anyone to learn regardless where they are in the world.
